2012

Marie Hart, Financial Aid

I think that you are a very caring and helpful person, everytime I have a problem you are there to help me, no matter how busy you are. Thank you.

Lauren Linahan, Student Success Center

Lauren is an AMAZING tutor for Geology. Without her I would not have passed the class! She is absolutely the best tutor I ever had. She knows her material very well & knows how to break the information down 10x better than the professor! Thanks Lauren, you are truly a blessing!

Charlotte Foster, Student Health Center

Thanks for being AWESOME every time I come HERE.

Marie Hart, Financial Aid

Team Ms. Marie Hart all the way! As explained in a previous email, Ms. Hart is so caring and I thank her for everything she has done!

Angie Wills and Charlotte Foster,
Student Health Center

Charlotte asked Angie if they could make an exception for me since I am obviously sick. They were wonderful helping me out when I felt terrible. They rock.

Steve Haineault, Plant Operations

Several times water has leaked into my office from the AC condensation drain. Upon being notified of this issue Steve sought to find and correct the root cause, cleaned the drain then when this did not solve the issue long term worked in the rain outside to replace the drain pipe instead of delaying the issue for another day. THANKS

Chris Harrison, Odum Library

Chris was awesome helping me navigate through the Library as it was my first time checking out a book. He was efficient, kind, and personable and it was such a pleasure working with him. He made me feel like he genuinely cared about my needs.

Deborah Davis, Odum Library

Ms. Deborah Davis is absolutely positively the most helpful, CARING instructor in the VSU Library. She is very flexible to help the students, and also she has great passion for her job. I love her :)

Rex Devane, Media Services

I had over a dozen students use the media center to help put together their presentations for the campus wide Undergraduate Research symposium. Rex and the rest of the media center were outstanding in their service and their level of expertise in helping each and everyone of them in a professional and prompt manner.

Jeffrie Shipley, Decision Center

Mr. Jeffrie Shipley got on the bus with me and help me out when: was not feeling well and stayed with me until someone came to get me. Thank you Mr. Shipley for your help and support.

Kia Powell, Decision Center

Thank you for your help and support, I really appreciate all your concerns for me.

Charlotte Foster, Student Health Center

For being very patient when the office was close to being closed. Thanks again!

Hilda Spell, Student Health Center

Thank you for making me comfortable and taking such great care of me. The next time I'm here I'm excited about the care I'll be getting!

Charlotte Foster, Student Health Center

Thank you for always being so nice and HELPFUL to me when I check out! You're always so smiley and energetic and it makes me happier. You're the best!

Marie Hart, Financial Aid

I am a Georgia On My Line graduate student and I live north of Atlanta. Marie was very helpful. She answered all my questions and truly went the extra mile. Because I am not "on campus" or close enough to Valdosta to visit the office in person, it was so great to have Marie there to help me via email, phone, and fax! Thanks Marie for all your help!!

Marie Hart, Financial Aid

Financial Aid counselor Marie Hart was wonderful!!! She gave me valuable information concerning stafford and plus loans that I had no idea existed. Her attitude was very pleasant and she answered all of my questions in a manner that I could understand. I have never had such an experience from a financial aid counselor in the 4 years that I have attended VSU. Mrs. Marie Hart, we need more people like you to help usstudents because we really don't always know what to ask when calling the financial aid office. It was nice to speak with someone that didn’t seem as if I was a bother to ask for their service. Thank you so much and I will be calling you directly if another problem occurs.

Charlotte Foster, Student Health Center

Thank you for being so lively and sweet. By the time I got to the desk everything was taken care of. I even got a bag since I can't carry everything because of my sling.

Marie Hart, Financial Aid

I appreciate Ms. Hart for professional advice. She was so welcoming and helpful. Her caring spirit was an eye opener compared to the university I last attended. I am currently a register at a high school. Professionals like Ms. Hart with a remarkable attitude and a pleasing charisma inspire me to continue to exemplify the same customer service. Thank you!

Charlotte Foster, Student Health Center

Thank you for giving exceptional service by always being positive and awesome when I come in for allergy each week! You always have a smile on your face and something nice to say. I greatly appreciate all of the times that you've helped me work through financial stuff, and still do. You are one of my favorite employees at the health center.

Kim Rasmussen, Student Health Center

Thank you for giving exceptional service by being an awesome nurse as I come in for allergy each week! I feel like I pretty much share my whole life story with you each week and always make great conversation. It's nice to come in each week to a nurse and friend. Keep up the awesome work!

Thanks for all the support that you provide to your staff. You are truly an exceptional person and all of your hard work and effort has not gone unnoticed. You are always putting others before yourself and I wanted to say thank you for all that you do to keep VSU up and running.

Lisa Baldwin, Information Technology

Lisa has been an amazing Director this year for my team and I. Her leadership has allowed creativity within the department that has led to vast improvements in services provided to the Campus. She has also provided training to coordinators to increase project management skills that will benefit the University for years to come.

Lisa Baldwin, Information Technology

Lisa's "can do" attitude and pleasant demeanor make coming to work a pleasure. She always takes time to see about her employees' needs and wants, in spite of her responsibilities which usually exceed normal business hours.

Sterlin Sanders, Information Technology

Mr. Sterlin installed new computers for our entire office this morning. He was diligent, fast and extremely professional. We enjoyed his presence in our office. Not only did he do his job well, but I absently forgot to save an item that I needed on my desktop and he saved it for me and I still have access to it :) He saved me the headache of having to call and have it reinstalled and explain to my boss why this was not done to begin with. My office was left just as I had left it. Everything was in its original place and I greatly appreciate that in a small work space; it can get very frustrating when things are moved or misplaced by others. Sanders you are awesome! Thank you again.

Lisa Baldwin, Information Technology

Lisa is always taking an interest in the various projects that are going on in EAS and is always trying to put the needs first. Lisa always cares about her staff and the people that we work for to further the mission of the University. She is also always willing to share her own experience and information to help everyone do a better job serving the campus.

Lisa Baldwin, Information Technology

She is one of the most caring supervisors you could ask for. She took time out of her very busy schedule to mentor me and help me grow. She always has time for her employees no matter how busy she may be. She is a wonderful supervisor and deserves to be recognized.

Lisa Baldwin, Information Technology

Thanks for all that you've been doing! You've been a big help, and I know you can do it! :)

Charlotte Foster, Student Health Center

In recognition for her quick response by being proactive and clearing the waiting room for a recent medical emergency.

Lisa Baldwin, Information Technology

Going above and beyond with ample projects and a time constraint.

Ben Li & Corey Wasley,
Information Technology

The time they committed and the personal attentions they gave me and my problem was exemplary. They made me feel that my problem was the only problem in the entire University and they were going to fix it no matter what. And...they kept the help desk running and still assisted others with help requests. Great customer service on your staff's part.

Johnnie Lamb & Margie Thompson,
Financial Services

Johnnie and Margie ensured that students who had out-of-pocket expenses for the Spectator's trip to Athens for our Georgia College Press Association Better Newspaper Contest received timely reimbursement. Students live from paycheck to paycheck, so a delay for them would be serious. I know the Spectator creates special challenges for Financial Services, but Johnnie and Margie made sure students were taken care of.

Ron Tomberlin, Student Health Center

Mr. Ron treated me so well while getting my shot. He was very funny and he made my experience even better. Thank you so much Ron.

Brian Shanken, Student Success Center

Brian is the best math tutor ever.  Thank you for helping me pass Calculus with a letter grade higher than expected!

Nicole Walden, Student Health Center

Thank you for being a great nurse, best experience I've had at VSU.

Lynette Lewis, Student Health Center

Thank you for all of ya'll help when I had a very bad allergic reaction.  When my throat closed up ya'll took care of me.  And not only through that situation, I am always greeted and feel welcome every time I step into this place.  God bless you all and thanks for everything.

Anita Ondrusek, Master of Library Science Graduate School

Dr. Ondrusek made time in her day and went personally to Ben Li, I.T. Help Desk Coordinator, to explain a particularly complicated computer issue. Because she did this for me, I was able to use my computer for 2 months.

Colt Smith, University Police

During a very stressful interaction between myself and a student, Officer Smith provided security along with his colleagues: Officer Doutt and Sgt Maestas.  Officer Smith made sure I was able to exit the room safely, remained with me as I spoke with EMS, checked on my state of well-being, and made sure I was not alone when leaving the building.  His caring and professionalism were much appreciated and I believe he is a role model for others in law enforcement on campus.

Eric Jackson, Information Technology

Helping us at the last minute on Saturday morning by creating extra logins for the MLIS orientation BlazeView site when you walked in the door.

Vince Spezzo, Information Technology

Helping the MLIS department at the last minute when we needed to build an orientation BlazeView shell.

Ginger Williams, Odum Library

Always being willing to help with MLIS new student orientation on Saturdays! And for being willing to partner with the course instructors and for being such a great role model for our future librarians.

Ben Li, Information Technology

Going above and beyond during the MLIS new student orientation and staying on to provide the extra one to one help for the student with special needs!

Marie Hart, Financial Aid

Thank you for taking the opportunity to assist a former VSU student who just transferred to another institution for the 2012 spring semester.  The information you provided was very helpful and detailed.  We will miss you and hopefully one day she can return to VSU.  Have a great spring!

Nicole Bishop, Student Health Center

Thank you for great service.  You were such a help to me.  Thank you.

Charlotte Foster, Student Health Center

Being encouraging, making me feel amazing after my appointment.  You made my day.

Debbie Regan, Student Health Center

Thank you for making every visit enjoyable.  You are by far the best doctor I have had.

Gail Terry, Student Health Center

Mrs. Terry went out of her way to make sure I feel better from the stomach virus. She packed me a bag with bottles of powerade, soup, and crackers. It was very thoughtful!

Dr. Edwin Hiatt, Student Health Center

Dr. Hiatt has been an excellent physician the past year that I have been seeing him.

Corey Wasley and David Mahrfeld, Information Technology

I had a major disk problem and they were so helpful, polite, reassuring (I was in a state of panic), and efficient. They did great work (diagnosed and fixed the situation) and a great job of providing service.
