Waves of Gratitude for LJ Bothell of Social Sciences for Inclusive Excellence, Respect and Community Engagement.

LJ is the most positive and patient colleague! She worked with me, back and forth, while setting up a brand new Azure environment for the students. She acted as the tester along the way and was very responsive and thorough with her testing insights. She helped move this progress along expeditiously. I truly appreciate her help, ideas, and feedback. Submitted by Tammy Lessley of Social Sciences. 

Waves of Gratitude for Dennis Harrison of Athletics & Intramurals for Inclusive Excellence, Respect, Student Engagement.

I’d like to sincerely thank Coach Dennis Harrison for his enthusiasm and great support! On May 11th, we had a visitor from Indonesia whose daughter plays basketball and wants to study in the U.S. I walked the mother over to the 3000 Bldg. to see our gym. Dennis noticed us and gave the mother a great introduction. He even recorded a short video on the mother’s phone to speak to this prospective student about what it is like to be a student athlete here. The mother was very thankful and kept saying it was her lucky day! Submitted by Linda Du, International Education. 

Waves of Gratitude for Brandon Fryman of eLearning for Inclusive Excellence, Respect, Other: Helpful.

I wanted to express my sincere gratitude for the invaluable help provided by Brandon Fryman, our outstanding instructional designer. Brandon went above and beyond by dedicating over 8 hours of his time to assist me with my Canvas issues, showcasing his exceptional expertise and unwavering commitment. I am a part-time instructor and have never found Instructional designers as friendly or helpful as Brandon.

From the beginning, Brandon’s knowledge of instructional design and the Canvas platform was evident. He patiently listened to my concerns, swiftly identified the problems, and guided me through each step of the troubleshooting process. His ability to communicate technical concepts clearly was remarkable, empowering me to independently handle similar challenges in the future. Brandon’s dedication and professionalism were truly commendable. Despite the extensive time required, he remained attentive and approachable, fostering a supportive and collaborative atmosphere. His exceptional customer service left a lasting impression on me. In conclusion, I am immensely grateful for Brandon’s expertise and the positive impact he has had on my experience with Canvas. His technical proficiency, interpersonal skills, and unwavering dedication make him an invaluable asset to our organization. – Anonymous
