FP&M Grounds, Custodial and anyone else who fights the snow!
Kudos to the FP&M Physical Plant staff responsible for keeping our walks, roads and other surfaces safe. Wisconsin winter is no joke, and they plan all year and work at all hours to remove snow and treat slick surfaces from all 936 acres of campus. They are also very thorough and speedy about going back to check work or redo spots, always keeping customer service a focus. I especially appreciate as a klutzy person who trips and slips … a lot! Thank you!

A round of applause for the collaboration across FP&M to move quickly to resolve a water quality issue on campus. The team took a systematic and scientific approach to resolve the issue. They immediately acted to keep campus safe then created and executed an effective plan, partnering with UW System, the state, outside expertise and CALS. Their commitment to customer service, safety as a value, and frequent and transparent communication are impressive
