Kudos & Congratulations

UIT staff recognized for their excellent work

Congratulations to Justin Evans (Information Security Office) and Michael Martinez (CTO organization) for winning the last prize drawing!


Denise Kovacevic has helped me with numerous IT issues that came up over a two-week period. She has been very helpful with getting my IT issues resolved. Thank you, Denise!

~ Lacy Graves, South Jordan Health Center


Zachary Anderson spoke with me on the phone today for a very long time and was very helpful. UIT is always so great. You guys are so patient with us and I wanted to let you all know I really appreciate it.

~ Marc Porter, Department of Chemical Engineering


Matt Munro is always very friendly and knowledgeable. He has been incredibly helpful with EPM. Thanks Matt for all that you do!

~ Tyler Chmelik, CTO organization


I would like to give complements to Douglas Lloyd for all his great work. We recently implemented SalesForce in our office and Doug has been extremely responsive and knowledgeable in getting us all set up. He has great suggestions for a product that we were all unfamiliar with and really thought deeply about ways to enhance our processes. When initially starting this process we were told from other departments that it would take a year to implement and with Doug's help we were able to cut that to about 3 months, which to me is unbelievable since I have worked here 10 years and still have projects yet to be implemented from year one. Greatly appreciate Doug for all the hard work!

~  Conor Robertson, Registrar's Office


A huge shoutout to Tony Le and Kirk Barlow for saving the day when one of our user's MacBooks kicked the bucket earlier this month! I was convinced it was destined for an expensive Apple repair, but these wizards not only resurrected it but also equipped me with the skills to tackle future MacBook woes on my own. And to top it off, their knowledge transfer paid off when another user rolled in with a bricked MacBook, which I was able to revive single-handedly thanks to Tony and Kirk's guidance. Their expertise has truly gone the distance, even reaching one of our colleagues who I was able to train using the knowledge they imparted. Thank you, Tony and Kirk, for being the tech superheroes our office needs!

~ Ellis Valdez, CTO organization    


The name Patrick Oberg keeps coming to my attention as being helpful beyond the call of duty. Special thanks to your most recent help in working with Emeritus support and figuring out points of contact in BPRP.

~ Dave Huth, CTO organization  


I would like to thank all the members of the Security Operations Center (Jesse Adams, River Griffin, Drew Lasson, Daniel Lewis, Jeshua Pina, Tariq Staton, and Sai Paladugu). They play one of the most important roles in the Information Security Office. Most people will never know how many things they protect the U from.

Their work is stressful, thankless, and demanding. This team is well into the trenches and at the front of the line battling cyberattacks every day.

Thank you. Your hardwork is noticed and appreciated.

~ Dustin Udy, Information Security Office


I put in a ticket for a problem I was having and Corey Hayes handled it so well! He was quick, knowledgeable, and customized the response to my needs. Thank you!

~ McKay Robinson, Thrombosis pharmacy manager


The StratComm team and I would like to thank Tammy Mabey for helping us navigate purchasing issues and ordering prizes for the UIT Holiday Luncheon. We're extremely grateful!

~ Larrisa Beth Turner, Strategic Communication
