“I want to give a heartfelt shout-out to Lydia for everything she’s been doing. With the implementation of Workday, she has taken on the workload of two people and stepped in to help another department keep things moving—all while maintaining a positive attitude. No matter how busy things get, she’s always willing to jump in, solve problems, and support those around her without hesitation. She has helped so many of us across the college, and her willingness to share her knowledge and lend a hand has made a real difference. Thank you, Lydia, for all the long hours, the extra effort, and the care you put into your work. Your contributions do not go unnoticed, and our team is stronger because of you. We are incredibly grateful for everything you do!” – Anonymous

Alexis Shepard, Training Specialist, Workday Training Team
“Alexis is a rockstar during a very stressful, busy time with the Workday launch! If it weren’t for Alexis, I wouldn’t have been able to lead the training sessions I was assigned this week. She took the time out of her overbooked schedule to discuss the materials and answer any questions before the training. I am very thankful that our paths have crossed! The training team is blessed to have Alexis as part of their team!” – Tara Long, Associate Business Officer, Provost Office
