I was so thankful for his quick work which allowed me to continue moving forward with the presentation until the tech issues were resolved. He is always calm and efficient which make as big difference when unanticipated issues arise during a presentation. Thank you so much!!!"

Katrina Butler Received a SLU Spark!

Congratulations to Katrina Butler, Center for Advanced Dental Education, who received a SLU Spark! Katrina was recognized by Daniel Kilfoy, ITS-Division Administration, for serving others.

Many of our young patients have special needs and require great patience and a caring attitude; Kitty always goes above and beyond to help them and their families get everything they need from our clinic. Kitty is the definition of what a clinic supervisor should be and we are all very grateful for her work."

Bryan Sokol Received a SLU Spark!

Congratulations to Bryan Sokol, Center for Service/Community Engagement, who received a SLU Spark! Bryan was recognized by Peter Garvin, Public Safety, for serving others.

"We were having our Staff Advisory Committee, End of the Year BBQ celebration, when we ran out of plates. Being next to the pools by the CGC, I immediately knew an office I could approach in the CGC. I briskly walked next door, entering Bryan Sokol's office, obviously surprising him seeing a DPS uniform entering his office so quickly. Bryan asked what was wrong and I simply told him our dilemma. Bryan graciously offered me an unopened stack of paper plates from his office while suggesting my entrance into his office was not initially received as one with such a simple request in mind. It was within minutes I had to return as we ran out of forks. Again, Bryan helped the SAC to avoid a "messy" disaster of running out of utensils! Thanks Bryan!"

Jim Greathouse Received a SLU Spark!

Congratulations to Jim Greathouse, HR Learning & Development, who received a SLU Spark! Jim was recognized by Carol Murphy, Arts & Sciences, for serving others.

"I wanted to express my appreciation to you for navigating the process of providing the photo of Fr. Ted Vitali to the Philosophy Department. Heidi Moore shared some of the email exchanges with me and when Fr. V's picture was attached to the last one, I realized how much work you did behind the scenes. Thanks for always being so willing to help us with any quest we are on. Your quick response is most appreciated. You are someone we can always count on!"
