Tiffani,
In the short time you’ve been here, you’ve taken on so much! You quietly accept new responsibilities, welcome new challenges without complaint and always put your very best foot forward. ME Finance is so lucky to have you on your team. I want to publicly thank you for bravely taking on student hiring this Fall. Because of you, we had one of the smoothest hiring cycles to date. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!!

Miffy,
Thank you for always putting our students first! You lead a huge task this Fall by taking on the mountain we call “student hiring.” You ensured that all 445 grad students, a dozen PURA students, 75 graders, and various other FWS, SAs, and Tutors were hired correctly and on time. Miffy, you are awesome. We cannot thank you enough for leading this charge. ME Finance is so very lucky to have you!! We don’t say it nearly enough but Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!!

Thank you Mary for your prompt response on fiscal year-end requests. I had originally sent a request on July 20, 2021 and it kept being pushed down to a different department level. It finally reached your desk on August 30, 2021 and you had a reply the morning of August 31, 2021. Thank you for making my job easier.

I really appreciate how much Mary Helen has done for me and my group since she took over the role of finance admin for my lab group. I had an absolutely enormous list of different issues that needed resolved (from a prolonged period of time) that ranged from very important and urgent (like none of our human subject patients being paid) to obscure things that had been wrong for a long time (like cost share accounting issues). She has taken the care to address these promptly and accurately including fielding calls long after work hours to get things resolved. I am extremely impressed with her and it has actually relieved a lot of stress on my part to see lots of financial issues cleared up. This has been my best post-award experience in terms of financial management and I could not be happier that she is the new finance admin for my lab group!
