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!

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.

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.
