A big shout-out to Nikhila Kasha! She was an incredible help and partner in assisting University Connected Learning onboard MarketingCloud! Her expertise, attention to detail, and enthusiastic partnership made our rollout a smooth and easy transition. Thank you for your help and friendship, Nikhila!

Kudos to Brandon Gresham! You continue to be a trusted friend and partner to UCL! Thank you for your collaboration, willingness to share your expertise and overall awesomeness. We are grateful for you and all you do for the university, Brandon!

I wanted to give a huge shout out to our phone techs Jason Lawes, Thomas Murray, Fernando Ferrer Anato, and Dalton Gronning. They are so willing to help all the time. They are really great to have on our team and we couldn't do what we do without them, so I just wanted to thank them for all they do on a daily basis. They're all rock stars!

~ Samantha Lankford, CTO organization


Please thank Maximus Isakson at the Campus IT Help Desk for his help on 09/11/2023 with setting up my Duo hardware token for my student university account.

Maximus was patient, thorough, and helpful to me for setting this and more things on my account.

~ Robert Williams, student


I would like to thank Robert Bateman who solved the Outlook problems I have been having. He spent a number of hours analyzing, loading, and reloading the latest versions of Outlook until the issues were resolved.

A big thank you to Robert Bateman for helping me through another computer and internet situation. His great advice helped me get the help I needed!

~ Judy Yeates, Office of the CIO


A huge thanks to Nikhila Kasha for all of her help on our recent project with Marketing Cloud. We sincerely could not have done it without her!

~ Emily Thoures, University Connected Learning


I'd like to give a very deserving kudos to Nikhila Kasha who worked tirelessly with me and my team to onboard the Marketing Cloud system in UCL! Not only did this project take upwards of a year, her knowledge, patience, and positive attitude made it a smooth and pleasant experience. Self admittedly, it's always been difficult for me to speak in "tech" terms, and she didn't make me feel embarrassed, inept or shy when I had even the most basic questions. I'm glad she's a part of the U family and UIT is lucky to have her. I hope to work with her again in the future as she's an invaluable asset to the U.

~ Summer Pessatore, University Connected Learning


Kudos and many thanks to Nikhila Kasha! She has been invaluable as we have implemented Marketing Cloud for our users. She has worked with us to ensure we're using the best tools for our needs, and we could not have done it without her. I look forward to an ongoing partnership with UIT.

Kudos and incredible credit to Brandon Gresham for running the Salesforce user group and community of practice across campus and bringing us all together to collaborate on tools, best practices, and known gotchas. Brandon took this community from a glimmer of an idea to a valuable and necessary resource, gaining expertise, sharing resources, and discovering significant cost savings across UU departments. I can't wait to see what else is possible.

~ Carrie Felton, University Connected Learning


I called for some explanation and help with Duo today. I have an iPad, an Android phone, and a laptop. James Lopez explained to me that Duo will not work on my laptop and that when I request a push I need to accept it either on my iPad or my phone. I already had it set up on my iPad but he helped me get set up on my phone as well. James was clear in his instructions, calm in his demeanor, and very pleasant.

~ Fairlie Kinnecom, student
