Mary Lou Bricker, January 22 | Submitted by Lynne Carpenter-Boggs
Mary Lou is so on top of things, she's ahead of potential problems. Today an email fell in my inbox and I thought, "Arrghh, how do I deal with this?" Before I could reply, Mary Lou had already responded to quell the potential issue, and she noted that she had already applied pressure further down the line to actually fix the issue. Whew! Thanks Mary Lou!
Joe Hewa, January 22 | Submitted by Katie Forsythe
Today, Joe helped me manage a difficult situation that was causing me a lot of stress. He was calm and supportive, and asked the right questions. Plus, he treated me to a cup of coffee that hit the spot. I am very grateful for Joe's regular support.
Josefina Guzman, November 8 | Submitted by Lucas Bonner
Josefina provides a detailed accounting of Com Data charges for me every month including scanned copies of receipts, as well as an easy-to-read spreadsheet. She is extremely friendly and helpful; always replying quickly to emails and providing the documentation needed.
Michael B. Ababurko, October 15 | Submitted by Linda McLean
Michael was very helpful and patient with me. He walked me through the steps of applying for a grant and offered tips and guidance each step of the way. Michael took great care in checking in with me and helping to make sure that I had all the information that I needed from him and others to make the grant application successful. Michael took the time to share his knowledge with me and I greatly appreciate his efforts and commitment.

Participating in the program were natural resource practitioners from local, state, and federal agencies, non-governmental agencies, and landowners. The program is a cooperative project by Washington State University, Oregon State University, and the US Forest Service - National Agroforestry Center.
Whitney Dixon, September 30 | Submitted by Laurie Berens

Lesa McPeak, September 30 | Submitted by Laurie Berens
No matter what question I have, or mistake that i have made, Lesa is wonderfully supportive and makes sure that I understand how to and what I need to do to accomplish what I am attempting to do! Lesa has the best positive attitude ever and her trainings are wonderful.
Kimberly Dudley, July 29 | Submitted by Brian Dentler
Going "above-and-beyond." I have worked with Kimberly in one way or another during the five-plus years I have been with Sponsored Programs. During that time, I have observed her increasing expertise as it pertains to administering sponsored agreements. In particular, Kimberly has been instrumental in helping me to navigate, understand, troubleshoot, and successfully administer the MOAs between WSU and the Washington Counties. These agreements appear simple in nature and are anything but. Kimberly has demonstrated extensive knowledge of the plethora of nuance and vagaries between the various county agreements, and a willingness to provide prompt, courteous, and professional service to me whenever I have asked for help.
Luke Bonner, May 20 | Submitted by Lisa Knowles
Luke delivered exceptional customer service when one of my orders was delivered to the wrong unit on campus. Rather than complain to the responsible parties, he invested personal effort to bring the items to the Business Center. He truly went above and beyond!
