To: All Those Who Helped with Dual Credit Enrollments for Spring 2021
From: Candida Bennett<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

BIG shoutout and THANK YOU to: Karen Bisset, Christine Broyard, OIT Help Desk, Jim Harper, Recruitment and Admissions staff, Bursars Office staff, Bonnie Bates, Registrars Office staff and others who felt the impact of over 2,300 high school dual credit enrollments for spring 2021! The support of our campus community means everything!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

To: The Admissions Team
From: Gabby Hensley<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Thank you so much for your help on the Admissions Celebration Video we are working on together! Your team did an amazing job gathering the photos\/information needed and then putting all of that (for almost 200 students) into video slides! It was a new learning experience for all of us and you guys killed it! :) Thank you again! YOU ROCK!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

To: EMU Admissions Department Intake Team
From: Mathew Cox, Chris Beiswanger, Barbara Keeney & Steve Miller<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The Intake Team (Nancy, Nicole and Curt) are being recognized for the hard work, perseverance, tenacity, persistence, resolve (and any other word we can think of), for them getting through the very heavy work load volume they have dealt with over the last several months. They have processed many thousands of documents with high accuracy and quality which has made the job of the admissions examiner much more efficient and easier. The Intake team has done an outstanding job of keeping up with all our documents and played a large roll in our enrollment management team processing these applications. The additional hours and efforts of the team have been astronomical in our performance as examiners and I cannot thank them enough for what they do (Valerie). <\/p>

Curt, Nancy, and Nicole, you all did such an amazing job this past cycle with the unusually high amount of volume that came in. You all always find a way to get it done and done well at that! I just want you to know that we truly appreciate all the hard work you have put in and continue to do (Barbara). We also will recognize the additional help that the examiners and admissions counselors gave to the Intake Team. All of this great work has definitely been a team effort. Way to go EMU Admissions staff.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

A diverse group of staff members meets weekly via Teams for 15 mins. to check-in and support each other. This group was created in Winter 2020. So many wonderful staff members from across campus participate. Having this water-cooler like moment brings joy, connection, and regularity to my week. We’ve all learned how priceless these relationships are. Other staff are welcome to join!

I appreciate this team beyond words. The four of you (with very little help from me) made this year’s Orientation Guide and Calendar become a reality. I never imagined that the small little calendar that was created back in 2012, would turn into such a masterpiece almost a decade later. Teamwork makes the dream work and you all are an amazing team! It turned out AMAZING and will surely be a welcomed piece for incoming UCCS students and their families. Brilliant work!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
