Here's your chance to say thank you

Purdue Today is introducing a new feature called "Thumbs Up," which will give faculty and staff the chance to recognize others on campus for a job well done.

Purdue Today would like to hear about those people whose hard work and commitment contribute to the success of the University as well as make Purdue a wonderful environment within which to work.

Submissions should include the names of the employee and the nominator, and describe why the person should receive a "Thumbs Up." Submissions should be 150 words or less. Purdue Today reserves the right to edit submissions for grammar, length and clarity before publication.

A list of "Thumbs Up" recipients will be included each Monday in Purdue Today. Submissions will be spread throughout the semester.

To submit an item for "Thumbs Up" or to find out more about the feature, please e-mail purduetoday@purdue.edu

Sample "Thumbs Up":

* Thanks to John Smith for helping out during our deadline crunch. We wouldn't have made it without his hard work. — Susan Doe

* I'd like to thank the Transportation Department for their fantastic customer service. Our trip was a great success, and this group helped make it happen. — Sue Smith
