Greetings and Happy Spring!

I'm Donna Eakle, Administrative Assistant with the Center for Instructional Delivery. I've been with the University of St. Francis since May, 2004, and I'm one of the people that oversees the WebCT online classes. I also publish the CID newsletter three times a year. The most rewarding aspect of my job is providing support to both the instructors and students that take our online classes.

Prior to working at USF, I've owned my own cleaning business, been employed as a Head Cashier with The Home Depot and worked as a Teacher's Aide at St. Patrick School in Joliet.

On a personal note, my husband Terry and I have been married for 25 years and have lived in the Joliet area for the past 16.

We have two wonderful - of course! - sons: T.J., who is a junior here at USF (computer major) and Tyler, a sophomore at Joliet Catholic Academy.

Our two dogs, Luke the Poodle, Toby the Yorkie, and our cat Joey complete our happy home. My hobbies include our "furry kids", the computer, baking and reading. I am presently a student at USF (Junior), continuing to work toward my Organizational Leadership degree.

Should you ever need any assistance or have any questions in regard to your online classes, please don't hesitate to contact me - deakle@stfrancis.edu, or (815) 740-5080.

Thanks!
