Oral English Proficiency Program liaisons

Oral English Proficiency Program liaisons: We would like to thank all of the OEPP liaisons in each department on campus. We appreciate all your hard work during the semester working with the grad students who take the OEPT and the ENGL 620 course. We couldn't do our jobs without your support. Thank you! – Rochelle Hines and April Fidler (both College of Liberal Arts administration)

Paige Ebner

Paige Ebner (Sociology): Paige was instrumental in helping to move IT equipment from Hanley to be placed in Stone or storage in Beering. She really went above and beyond in a successful move/transition! – Purdue IT CLA division

Candace Shaffer and Alexis Slate

Candace Shaffer and Alexis Slate (Human Resources): As a parent of two, I've long been tremendously grateful for the child care and other family-friendly resources that Purdue offers, whose availability and quality are largely made possible by the incredible efforts of Candace and Alexis in Human Resources. They've been wonderful partners who listen energetically, partner with parents enthusiastically and effect change howsoever possible. Their efforts led directly to the expansion of child care in our area, in improving our tools for monitoring the quality of air that our children breathed when our center had construction nearby, and ensuring a smooth transition to an exciting new contractor to support the caregivers for our children. I'm so grateful for their efforts and for their kind generosity. – Ted Fondak (College of Education administration)

Individuals involved with Purdue United Way campaign: Thank you to Lauren Stearns (Purdue Memorial Union), Kristy Smith (Administrative Services), Brian Wallar (Operations and Maintenance), Tim Jones (Building Services), Brian Gilbert (Real Estate) and Mike Munday (Building Services) for leading a successful United Way campaign!
