Congratulations to Sean O’Brien, IT project manager in the office of the vice president for information technology, who has been selected as an Excellent Eagle Employee for the month of June.  A parking spot of his choosing has been reserved for him until the end of the month.

Here is what one of his co-workers said about him:

“I would like to nominate Sean O’Brien for the Excellent Eagle Employee. When I have any issue relating to IT, I always call Sean. He always knows what direction to point me in, or who to direct me to talk to. Sometimes navigating other divisions is a puzzle, but Sean clears up any questions I have and saves the day. He also checks in to make sure the issue was resolved. I really appreciate that IT has someone as accessible and helpful as Sean. A parking spot is a great way to say thanks and keep up the good work!”

Congratulations to Cathy Byram, office manager in the Department of English, Linguistics, and Communications, who has been selected as an Excellent Eagle Employee for the month of May.   A parking spot of her choosing has been reserved for her until the end of the month.

Here is what one of her co-workers said about her:

“I would like to nominate Cathy for a variety of reasons. First, she is absolutely kind and generous. I am fairly new here, having begun in August. Cathy, whose job does not involve me at all, is kind enough to do all of the purchasing for me in the Writing Centers and the WI Program. She does so without any complaint and never asks anything in return although I ask her time and again if there is anything I can do for her. She helps me navigate appropriate channels in order to get things accomplished for students and the university. Cathy goes above and beyond her job description just to help out a fellow employee. I want to nominate Cathy just so she is recognized and knows what an invaluable employee and person she is.”

Congratulations to Jason Harrington, network analyst expert in Network and Communications Services, who has been selected as an Excellent Eagle Employee by the Staff Advisory Council. To thank him for such a wonderful job, Jason will have a reserved parking spot of his choosing from Tuesday, January 3 through Tuesday, January 31.

Here is what one of Jason’s co-workers said about him:

“Jason received his CCNA, or Cisco Certified Network Associate Certification in September 2011.  Typically, only 40 percent of test takers pass the CCNA on the first attempt.  Jason did. He continues to excel in his role here at UMW.  He is currently completing configuration of the router, switches, packet shaper, firewall, DNS/DHCP Appliance and Voice Over IP equipment for the Dahlgren Campus.  Professional services to configure these devices would be a major expense.  Jason’s excellence has saved us money and put us well ahead of schedule.”
