Charnell Grace
Shout out to Charnell Grace at the UR SpiderShop for working closely with the Department of Mathematics & Statistics and the Department of Computer Science. She followed up with us at every step of the gift acquisition process for our seniors and ensured the timely delivery of three huge boxes to our office for distribution to our students. We thank Carnell for helping to make our graduates feel special, and we look forward to working with her again.

Spider Exchange, Rethink Waste
Big shout out to David Donaldson, Jacob Saqueira, and the operations team that pulls the trash from the outdoor bins for going above and beyond. They manage to return sentimental items that students have accidentally binned, funnel useful discarded items back into the campus community (Brita water pitchers, stick vacuums, Halloween decor, and more), and provide a supportive and educational experience for student workers. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Rick, I can’t thank you enough. I’m so glad we decided to have our event at the University of Richmond. Your staff and team, student, etc. were outstanding, and the setting, parking, etc. were the best! Hopefully, we host more events with you in the future! On behalf of the Richmond Pediatric Society, thank you and thank you.

Michelle Williams
Shout out to Michelle for helping the clinic find a parent for a sick child. Michelle went above and beyond to help find the employee. Even after telling me that she did not see anyone with that name she never gave up. She called the clinic back and had found the employee. Thank you, Michelle, for your dedication!

David Brandon, Earl Lewis
Shout out to the Help Desk, especially Earl and David. Earl created a USB drive that allowed David Brandon to fix my desktop quickly and efficiently. Just before this fix, David installed a printer in our Computer Science lab so fast we didn't notice it was done. It is reassuring to know that helpful resources are readily available to keep our department running smoothly.
