Ken Stonefish
I want to send a huge thank you to Ken Stonefish for helping me tackle the final push to get 30 East Campus Mall ready for the new DPLA students. There were just a few remaining items and he showed up and took care of them all. It was a small gesture with a huge impact.

Heating and Cooling Plant Staff
I want to voice my appreciation to the Heating and Cooling Plant staff. We have had a challenging time recently with heat and humidity. The plant staff have battled adversity, working conditions, and stressed equipment with grace and determination. Congratulations to them on prevailing.
I want these words to make them a little less invisible to those who can appreciate that being invisible to the public means you’re doing it right. Plant staff, we salute you and appreciate you.
– Jim Bogan
Dan Volk
I am so grateful for all of the support and technical knowledge Dan shares with me! He always slows down to teach me, not just explain to me, what is being done, why, and what to consider going forward. He is one of my primary sources for so many things and I really appreciate him!
