Dorinne Banks and Yawen Kang,
Thank you for all of the work you both put into our library fall events--beautiful job, as always, on putting together everything that was needed. Yawen, thanks for always volunteering to be our go-to person for making and printing out our posters (when you're not troubleshooting our computer issues); and your faculty event photos turned out great! Dorinne, thanks for you extra help on the display boards, in and around the usual work you have to do on a daily basis to keep those research materials moving. I'm so fortunate to work with such dedicated and creative people; believe me, you are both very much appreciated!

Kreda,
I appreciate all of the work you do to make my collection work easier. Your work on your invoices is completed in an accurate and timely manner.  I know you give your best efforts to your job, as it is obvious that you care about the quality and preciseness of your work.
You are responsive with my many requests to resolve invoice issues even if some awards have "sticky" problems.
Best of all, you are always so pleasant and kind!

    Linda and Margaret always provide Payroll Services with an alert when a UPD employee is terminating.  As I am the one who processes all the terms, we have in the past had issues because we were not told timely.  They always provide us with all the needed information so that the final paycheck for the employee will be done right the first time.
    • Carol Lynn Beninca, Payroll Services

    Dawnita - Thanks for all your hard work at the F Street House.Your dedication and enthusiasm are always appreciated!

    • From all of us at Employee Training and Development

    Thank you to Kim Carusone, Jennifer Joslin, and Dorinda Tucker for exhibiting true leadership by facilitating the LEAD book club discussion groups.  Feedback from participants is excellent and inquiries about the next book are already coming in.  Thanks for making this series a success!
    • Darcy Czajka

    To Basil Jackson, I know I can speak for the other facilities employees who recently took part in the Learning Excel classes. Thank you for your patience, which was tried many times during the course, but you took the time to work with each individual needing extra assistance.  You established the pace at which we would be working, so that no one would be left behind.  You are a wonderful instructor and I look forwarding to taking many more courses under your guidance.
    • Valerie Lattimore

    Rodney - Thank you for going the extra mile in assisting me with quickly replacing a Verizon Blackberry for a Gelman staff member as I began my new assignment at the Gelman Library!

    Thank you Gloria for all you do to make our office such an enjoyable place to work, your positive, thoughtful and compassionate nature is one to admire.  Somehow you are able to give all of us the support we need when we need it and for that I am grateful to know you.

    Many, many thanks to EVERYONE AT GWU LAW SCHOOL for making me feel welcome and inspired in my new department!  So far I am enjoying being at the Information Desk in the middle of what feels like the heartbeat of activity.  I look forward to meeting each and every member of the Law School family soon.
