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.

Kerry has fought tirelessly alongside the United Faculty Alliance to ensure the health and safety of her fellow professors. She even personally distributed N95 masks to any of her colleagues who wanted them. Even in the worst of times she will muster a smile for someone who needs it and even in her busiest of times she will lend an ear, provide advice and offer help.
