Sadly, Butters is gone so I'm left with my media for company. It helps me through the day. But in the spirit of this week, I'll post a shout out to all of you. This is by far my favorite collection of people to work with. Thank you all for being great co-workers.

This is Koshka, our Russian Siberian. I'm allergic to cats but she is low on allergens and doesn't bother me! Well...the first 3 weeks with her were rough and then it was great from there. She spends a good bit of each workday in my office with me :)

Co-Worker Appreciation Day: Jennifer Harrison

Thank you to my colleagues in the Humanities and Social Sciences department! It is wonderful to be part of such a fantastic team. While we are a pet-free household due to multiple allergies, my son is a pretty neat co-worker when his school day is complete! (This is an old photo of him at one of our favorite lakes in our city.)

I appreciate all of you! Dawn Cox

I appreciate our great department and the support that we all get from our leaders and course leads. At home, I have a number of "co-workers". As you can see my new kitten, Lily, likes to read up-side down. I have two goats, another cat, Izzy (my chihuahua), and some aquariums. How is the for company?

The Entire MaPS TEAM!!!

I wanted to express my heartfelt gratitude to each and every one of you. It's no secret that I consider all of you my favorite coworkers, and I'm fortunate to be part of such an amazing team.

Your dedication, teamwork, and positive energy make every day at work a joy. I truly value the friendships we've built and the support we provide one another. Together, we make an outstanding team, and I can't thank you enough for making the workplace such a great place to be.

Let's continue to work together, support each other, and achieve great things as we always do. You are all truly appreciated, and I look forward to more fantastic moments together.

Oh, and this "little" guy, too makes me smile every day!

This was an easy one. I honestly don't know what I would do without Leslie! She is THE MOST AMAZING assistant chair at PG (probably in the world), and I truly love working with her!

!!The Science Team!!

2023-10-25 16:51:53 UTC

I couldn't ask for a better group of individuals to work with! The science department wouldn't be as awesome as it is without their hard work, and dedication. I appreciate each and every one of them. Thank you Amy, Brad, Christine, Darrell, Deanna, Josh, Julie, Kat, Laurie, Taryn, Vanessa and Wendi!

My ride or die!

You will always be my favorite friend, colleague, and mentor.

I competed in a Mustang Challenge and my students think that is wild!

This young wild mustang was gathered in Nevada near starvation. Now he looks in my kitchen window begging for carrots!

As a new adjunct this year, I just want to note how welcoming and helpful everyone in the English and Rhetoric Department has been. I love the work I get to do, and I'm inspired and delighted by the passion you all bring to the job!

Kids, Cats, & Projects

aprilburge1 — 2023-10-25 19:10:53 UTC

I'm blessed to be able to work from home, doing what I love, surrounded by the amazing energy of my kids, our cats, and a lot of random art supplies and other DIY projects and hobbies that make life interesting!

I ❤️ MaPS!

2023-10-25 19:24:59 UTC

I am so grateful to have the best coworkers ever in the Science Department and in MaPS! Since we don't get to see each other in person everyday, I also love to work with Lightning (cat) and Willow (dog). ~ Amy Smith

Best Coworkers in the World

2023-10-25 20:06:28 UTC

I have the best coworkers in the world. I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to you all for your invaluable contributions and unwavering support any time I need it.

In the often challenging and demanding world of academia, it's the people we work alongside who make all the difference for ourselves but most importantly, our students. Your unwavering commitment to excellence has been a source of inspiration to me, and I am truly fortunate to have had the opportunity to work alongside someone as talented and dedicated as each of you! Thank you for being the best! Of course, my other co-workers at home make life pretty sweet and my job better too.

Thank you!!

blee179 — 2023-10-26 13:38:12 UTC

Thank you to all of you! Each of you are passionate educators who inspire me everyday to do what I do. I was once told by a member of MAPS leadership that although we work together and are co-workers he feels that we truly are a family. It is this closeness and caring that keeps MAPS strong and keeps all of us motivated. We are inspired, respected, and empowered to make MAPS better everyday. I am truly lucky and thankful to be a part of such an amazing team! - Beth Lee

My work-from-home buddy is our rescue dog Birdie. She is the best companion I could ask for and ensures I take walk breaks every day!

My daughter's cat

2023-10-30 17:17:01 UTC

It took about a week for this cutie to get used to her new home. We miss our dogs (passed away a few years ago), but we're officially cat lovers now!

I am forever thankful for the Math Department. I have the best co-workers! - Nancy Reck

How is it possible that I drink so much of this stuff??
