Becky Vick-Severance

Huge thanks to Becky Vick-Severance who stepped in to make sure the lab spaces on fifth floor Birge heated (and cooled) properly. Her knowledge of the system, her incredible willingness to step in and her overall joyfulness were just what the situation needed!

Folks at 45 Charter

Sending a big shout out to everyone who works at 45 Charter Street. Every time that I come with needs and requests, each and every person is friendly, helpful and resourceful. Doesn’t matter if it’s Truck Services, Custodial Services, Campus Services or Stores; your service is collaborative, seamless, thoughtful and goes above and beyond.

Notably today, Sue Hamman (Truck Services Dispatcher), Annas Houman (Materials Associate), and Margaret George (Inventory Control Coordinator): You are all so awesome helping to make 45 Charter a welcoming destination for getting things done.

Jeff Watson, Shannon O’Connell, and plumbing shop staff

A shout-out to all who communicated in advance of and assisted with the recent water line repairs at The Middleton Building. Jeff and Shannon, your proactive and timely communication regarding the discovered leak, supply order timeline, and scope of work helped me prepare building occupants for the water shutoff, which was most helpful and appreciated.

And to everyone who prepped for and completed the work, wow! You were most speedy and had the repair done well before your desired timeline. I suspect the building occupants did not even realize they were without water. Thank you!

Shout out to Danny Nicoson regarding a recent project: The last air compressor has run its 300 hours on the cleaning oil and is switched off and can be changed to the food grade oil at your earliest convenience. We greatly appreciate everyone’s help in getting this issue resolved. Thank you for everything you all do.
