Shirl is so responsive and incredibly helpful! Whether your needs are urgent or immaterial, she always finds time to help. Even when she has several tasks on her plate, she treats you as if you are the priority and does so with grace and patience.

Ramdan consistently provides stellar customer service. Whether by text, call, teams message or help ticket, you can count on Ramdan to respond quickly with a few trusty solutions to your problem. If his initial “bag of tricks” is not successful, you can guarantee he’ll reach out with options to meet and troubleshoot the dilemma. Even in the midst of moving to Raleigh, and all of IT’s responsibilities, Ramdan was never too busy to help with what I’m sure could be considered minor tech issues.

Melania Hall is the best of the best! She is always willing to assist me when I am stuck with an issue I have not encountered before. She will send me detailed line-by-line instructions with pictures to boot. She is always pleasant and willing to go many extra miles to assist me as well as my department. If there is an employee of the year I would nominate her for that too. She is the most deserving person I know.

Quita took time out of her very busy day to help me troubleshoot an issue in PeopleSoft. Thanks to her patience and assistance, we, no really Quita, figured out the resolution and thanks to her awesome help we were able to process a stipend payment for a student and get them their funds ASAP. Even with everything on her plate, Quita took the time to help troubleshoot and show me how to avoid this error next time.
