Thumbs Up

Purdue students studying.

Hillenbrand Dining Court staff

Hillenbrand Dining Court staff: There were some HVAC issues with the atrium during our usual meeting time. Staff in the Hillenbrand Dining Court were so helpful in going out of their way to accommodate the students and get questions answered for us. It helped make us a bit more comfortable and was much appreciated. — Stacey Dunderman (The Data Mine)

Eric Hassenplug

Eric Hassenplug (Science IT): Eric and his web and database team have been instrumental in getting us up and going with a new DB front end for our team in Computer Science. This system is used for research, facility and equipment documentation and has made our day-to-day operations much more pleasant and productive. Eric has been incredibly patient with our feature requests and receptive to helping us build a custom query filter interface tailored to our specific needs. Thank you so much, Eric and team! — Joey Pietrzak (Computer Science)

Torrey Pelfree

Torrey Pelfree (Chemistry): When our copy center was out of paper, I asked our Chemistry shop if there was a chance they could pick up our skid of 40 cases of paper. Torrey did so and went even further by making four trips back and forth from the MMDC to Wetherill Laboratory of Chemistry, bringing six pallets of freight altogether to us. Torrey saved us that day by getting what we needed. — Suzy Gustafson (Chemistry)
