Comments:

Juan Ybarra - Juan is the best - he takes care of all our Desktop issues so expediently. He also single handedly fixed my broken and beaten up computer.

Telecom - Thanks for rescuing us a couple of times recently when we had phone problems when starting a large demo.

Maria Reddell - Her work in completing the Financial Aid Reporting Matrix and input to ODS discussions certainly impressed the Sungard consultants.

Ray McCormack - The Xtender Install was so smooth, we almost missed it!! Ray you rock!!

Czen Balagtas - As the programmer on the huge data migration effort, Czen's hard work is the key to us making our very tight schedule.

Shiva Ayalasomayajula - Always ready to lend a helping hand to any member of the team and always giving above and beyond to support Luminis

Andrew Maller - Talk about efficiency - within a week of joining the team, Andrew had the Test area all set up.

Matthew Hejazi - Making adjustments to the DBA schedules to ensure that the BLISS project gets the best support

Yvette Fontaine - When I approached Yvette to lead the International team, she said she did not know what she had to do to be a team lead - but within a few weeks of taking on that role, she has already got the team off to a great start.

Steffanie Hoie - Her consistent and exemplary leadership of the Admissions team (even while on maternity leave) has helped us meet a critical milestone.

Beth Lacy - Consistent and solid Leadership of the Reg Team

Chris Rapp - Great Analysis of several very difficult issues that needed to be addressed
