Tim Akey, Tim McNeil
Kudos to Tim Akey and Tim McNeil in Campus Services for their help changing lightbulbs in Bascom Hall. Tim and Tim carefully replaced them over the course of several days, always considering everyone in the building as they worked. They asked for a classroom schedule so they could do the work efficiently to get the room bright again without disturbing any students or faculty.
