Pats for Patriots May Round-Up
The end of the academic year is a busy time for the Mason community, yet many took the time to share words of appreciation to peers. Everyone appreciates receiving a little encouragement! Below are the Pats for Patriots received in May.
Tasneem Amrou
College of Humanities and Social Sciences
“I really appreciate Tasneem's kind and sociable nature as a co-worker. Tasneem has been bringing in baked treats like cookies and candies every week to share with everyone at the office. It's such a thoughtful gesture that always puts a smile on my face. Tasneem has also been very welcoming to me as a new employee, which I am truly grateful for. Thank you, Tasneem, for your warmth and friendliness towards me and the rest of the team.”

Sally Evans
University Libraries
“I finished my PhD this term and Sally was fantastic in calming my nerves about the format review and deadline requirements during one of the most stressful times in my life. I went into the review with some trepidation. Sally quickly put me at ease and walked me through the process with care and competence, and not just once. Her kindness and empathy were much appreciated.”
– Jacquelyn Brown

Lauren Hutt

“Lauren has a secret for always being positive and in a good mood. I recently asked her how she kept her smile, and she told me her secret was that "Smiling is her favorite.” She's no elf, but she does make magic happen in the ITS workshop.”
