Recognition goes out to Shawn Staggs and his colleagues at DOIT, Elson Smith and Dan Ihm. This remarkable team of professionals always seems to be available to solve the most vexing technical issues in Blackboard, even on holiday weekends. They are prompt and thorough in their service to the university, and yet they remain humble. NIU is a better institution for having these individuals be a part of it. Deep appreciation.
