Amazing job hosting the Virtual Bingo game. You made it fun and entertaining. 

To: Brandon Poulliot
From: Erin Klein

Shout out to Brandon who has been our hybrid meeting guru for the last few semesters. Brandon willingly assisted with our event on his day off! He’s been a huge help to the LAS Dean’s Office and has given me confidence in new skills through his patient teaching. He’s a great fit for the FRC with his kindness, patience, and service-oriented attitude. Thanks, Brandon!

A heartfelt kudos to Dr. Dave Anderson for everything he does across UCCS. In addition to his role in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry as Chair, Dave directs the Faculty Resource Center, serves as a Faculty Liaison for Information Technology, and provides amazing and longstanding service for the Faculty Assembly on the Awards Committee among many others. He quietly and steadily supports faculty, staff and students in bringing insight, commitment, and a sense of care to all he does. I appreciate the countless ways you contribute to our community. Kudos for being such a steady, positive presence at UCCS!

The Data and Donuts series has been fantastic! Jenny leads a monthly session that teaches us how to use the wealth of student, faculty, and campus data provided by Institutional Research, and she’s always helpful in answering questions along the way. Plus, this series provides a wonderful opportunity to meet staff and faculty across campus. Thank you for this great learning opportunity!

To: Melissa Schreiner

Melissa has gone above and beyond, stepping up to take on additional responsibilities, including managing staff and filling gaps left by vacant positions. She’s been instrumental in helping to develop and refine our current processes, all while expertly managing the incoming conference schedule and bringing in new clients to grow our services. Melissa consistently provides outstanding customer service and sets a fantastic example for our staff and students. Her hard work and dedication are truly the foundation holding our team together—we’re so fortunate to have her!
