During your four (or five) years at Eastern, chances are you will come across a number of people who make this campus a little more bearable. Whether it's in the Student Center, Hurley, or one of the dorms, there is usually someone that stands out from the rest. We’ve compiled a list of a few of Eastern’s MVPs to keep an eye out for during your time here.
Preston, Stu Griller
Recommended for you
While most of the workers at the grill station are great, Preston is the real winner here. If you eat there as often as I do (which is TOO often), chances are he starts making your order as soon as he sees you walk in. Not to mention the fact that he usually hooks you up with extra food, i.e. eight mozzarella sticks instead of seven, four chicken tenders instead of three, etc.
Greg, Stu Café Cashier
Greg earned a spot on this list because he makes a mundane job a little more entertaining with his singing. We’ve all experienced it, right? Some of us may have even joined in from time to time. (Guilty!)
We give him credit for sitting there having to listen to the same five or so over-played songs and making the best of it. Odds are he was probably in a band at some point in his life…
Pat, Hurley Card Swiper
What a gem! Pat is probably one of the sweetest women you will encounter on this campus. She never fails to keep a smile and happy attitude, despite dealing with degenerates all day long. She is the ray of sunshine in the darkness that is Hurley Hall. Yes, Pat, I would love a to-go cup, thanks!
Lance, Hurley Sandwich Maker
Shout out to the pro sandwich maker himself! Yes, he may come off as angry most of the time, but if you’re lucky, you can get him to crack a smile. His precision and dedication to each and every sandwich is why he made the list. On behalf of the entire student body, thank you for cutting our sandwiches all the way through.
Sue, Hurley Sandwich Maker
While she lacks Lance’s sandwich cutting skills, Sue deserves credit, nonetheless. Her chipper attitude is a staple of Hurley. It's guaranteed that you leave her station feeling 100 percent confident about your sandwich choice, because she never fails to compliment the combination you just had her make. “Great choice!”
Thanks, Sandwich Sue, we thought so, too.
Larry, Laurel Hall Janitor
There’s no better what to start off the day than by a Larry greeting! Whether it’s a simple “Hello, have a great day,” or a compliment on your outfit, he’s sure to put you in a good mood the second you step out of the elevator. If that doesn’t work ,then the awesome music blasting from his phone while he cleans up the place sure will! Rock on, Larry!
Congratulations to all the MVPs and the countless of others who keep this campus under control. You make our days here a little bit brighter and much more entertaining!
