Isaac Critcher
Specialty Trades Technician
CAS Machine and Electronic Shop
A colleague in the Department of Computer Science wrote about Critcher, "He is a brilliant engineer; he designs, draws, and builds great things. He is collaborative and understands how he can make things more efficient. He has been a great asset in our AppMAIS and NCInnovation projects. It has been great working with him, and he has taught us new things and mentored students along the way."

Sarah Sinner
Administrative Support Specialist
Department of Philosophy and Religion
"In addition to keeping things running smoothly in the Department of Philosophy and Religion, Sarah has recently assisted countless students in the first week of classes with her design and placement of a number of eye-catching signs clearly directing those lost in search of the Greer Auditorium, as well as the apparently randomly placed bathrooms," shared a colleague in the Department of Philosophy and Religion. "These are just the most recent examples of Sarah's admirable efforts to enhance the accessibility and visual appeal of our shared spaces in I.G. Greer Hall."
