Tell Us About It Maria is the Senior Financial Assistant at Dept of EECS. Without her generous and timely help approving reimbursements and purchase requests, all of our student-care initiatives and remote social events for EECS grad students won't be possible. Her dedicated efforts and patient guidance enabled us, the Graduate Student Association (GSA) at EECS, to give away 400+ quarantine gifts to our grad students (e.g., sunrise alarm clock, ring light for Zoom calls), each of which is a purchase request submitted by students she needs to verify and approve. She also made it possible for us to efficiently reimburse student's food for virtual coffee hour and improv game nights, which bring the students together in this isolated and challenging time.
