Purdue Today’s “Thumbs Up” series gives faculty and staff members the opportunity to recognize, thank and congratulate others for their outstanding service, support and performance across the Purdue system. This week’s “Thumbs Up” recipients are:

Yvonne Hardebeck

Purdue Agronomy would like to extend a sincere thank-you to Yvonne Hardebeck in Agricultural and Biological Engineering for her willingness to jump in and help when our poster printer was recently down. With a large field day quickly approaching, Yvonne kindly helped ensure that our student posters were printed and ready to go. Her collaborative spirit and willingness to support a neighboring department were truly appreciated and are a wonderful example of what makes the College of Agriculture such a great place to work. Thank you, Yvonne! — Purdue Agronomy

Justin Morris

On behalf of the entire Consulting and Training team, we want to give a huge shoutout to Justin Morris in Purdue IT for his monthslong assistance with an extremely arduous project. After we unexpectedly lost a team member this year, Justin helped us with retrieving decades of information and files and did it with patience and kindness. He went above and beyond to help our team, and we are so thankful. — Sarah Stearns (Consulting and Training)
