From Brandy Walters to Tommy Fallaw

A few minutes ago, I was taking a quick walk around the building to get some steps in. A gentleman, that I am assuming, working on your crew was cutting the grass. I approached; he stopped mowing until I passed. Not only do I appreciate how considerate that was in general, but I also really appreciated the action as it looked out for my safety.

This was such a small but thoughtful action, that I didn’t want it to go unnoticed. I don’t think he could hear my thanks through his hearing protection so if you happen to know who was mowing around the HR office around 3:15, please thank them for me!

Lastly, kudos to you and the other leaders in that area for creating a culture of consideration and compassion for others.

Have a great afternoon-

From Ben Blodgett to Matthew Holbrooks

Matthew, 

I wanted to take a moment to express my sincere gratitude for Noah’s exceptional assistance in resolving the heating and cooling issues we’ve been experiencing at Fike. Noah’s dedication to addressing these concerns has been truly commendable.

Over the past three months, Noah has effectively communicated with us, keeping us informed about changes and discoveries during troubleshooting. His proactive approach and attention to detail have been instrumental in making significant improvements, and we have noticed a tangible difference in the building’s comfort levels.  Noah’s professionalism and hard work have not gone unnoticed, and we wanted to convey our appreciation for his efforts in resolving this matter promptly and efficiently.

Best regards,

Todd and team,

Provost Jones and I would like to personally thank you and your individual teams’ efforts in supporting this week’s ABET Accreditation visit. The results of the visit were spectacular on the academic side and the team complimented us on how great our facilities were! Please share this great news and also our thanks to your team members. I know this was a very difficult time consuming effort, but it was well worth it.

Best regards,

From Kat Moreland of Parking & Transportation Services

Good Morning!

Got a call from Jerry Kerns at CATbus. He tested the Cherry Rd intersection with the stop bar and he had no issues. It worked great! Thank you Taylor and the Facilities team for your rapid work to make that happen.

The new Gold Route is a go thanks to this change.

Thank you!
