Erin Schmidt Received a SLU Spark

Congratulations to Erin Schmidt on the SLU Spark nomination. Erin was nominated by Jim Roach for perusing excellence.

"Erin is our department's liturgy coordinator. Practically speaking, this means that she works every Sunday to oversee that the Sunday Masses at SFX College Church are organized, adequately supported with volunteer students, and celebrated with the professionalism and joy befitting liturgical standards. Erin has done this for years. It's part of her job, and her consistent excellence  is worth noting. In addition, Erin had a huge role in organizing last year's Bicentennial Mass, and also coordinates the annual baccalaureate and Mass of Holy Spirit celebrations. During these events, our department colleagues and supervisors, university personnel, university administration officials and student volunteers depend on Erin. She organizes, gives attention to the myriad of details, and always is able to help others with a sense of calm and serenity."

Thomas Harashe Received a SLU Spark

Congratulations to Thomas Harashe on the SLU Spark nomination. Thomas was nominated by LaDonna Utley for pursuing excellence.

"It seems our department is rarely satisfied with the constant temperature swings in our suite.  We either are too cold or too warm and Tom always responds quickly and is eager to make sure we are satisfied and comfortable.  He always has a smile even though it seems as though the heating/cooling of the office is a never ending battle we will win.  We appreciate Tom's quick response and efforts to help make our environment comfortable."
