Thank you for meeting with the occupants for the Winter Break work at the Education Building and Bascom Hall this week and answering their questions about prepping their spaces for painting. Everyone left for the holidays with peace of mind that their spaces were prepped and ready.

Scott Braaten and Curt Nowlen
A heartfelt thank you to Scott Braaten and Curt Nowlen for the work they have done on the Law Building fire doors over the years. Scott’s communication ahead of time of their work to be done over break this year enabled us to make him aware of other work in the building that would impede his progress. He changed work plan and got all doors done quickly. Also, one of the gears broke on a door outside a classroom near an entrance this year as they were testing. Thanks to Curt’s forethought, a gear had already been made by machine shop several years ago and the replacement on the door was quickly installed by them. Great communication and preventive maintenance, gentlemen!

A/V Management
I’ll be giving my first lecture ever in a couple of weeks, and today I went into the room I’ll be teaching in to practice recording the lecture.
I wanted to let you know what a seamless experience I had using the A/V system for the first time, and to thank you for the work you guys have done to make that possible! The tutorial was extremely helpful, showing me the specific things I needed to know and a few bells and whistles to tailor it to my needs as well. Furthermore, the recording it produces and sent to Kaltura was extremely professional, impressively fast, and easy to use. As a first-time lecturer, I have so many things to learn and worry about, so feeling confident at the previously daunting task of recording a lecture is SO helpful.
– Cameron Jones, Grad Student in the Dept. of Statistics
