Jerry Walcott Jerry, your hard work, dedication, and teamwork are greatly valued and make a huge difference to our department! You show up every day, giving it your all to help things run smooth. I have been able to count on you to cover areas every single time it has been needed. Thank you for making the floors shine in multiple buildings and for being a voice when you notice an area needs some attention. You have shared your knowledge with all of us and have stepped up to help guide our new hire. I appreciate your overall performance and contributions you bring to our workplace. Way to go Jerry!

John Akins - John, you are such a valuable team player! Thank you for always going above and beyond without being asked. You are so quiet about what you do extra, but I want you to know that it doesn't go unnoticed. Your hard work is noticed and appreciated! Not only is your area well kept, but you have also stepped up and helped in other areas cleaning up entry ways and glass doors.

He treats the building as he would his own house and we are lucky to have him keeping an eye on everything that happens in Animas.

Monica Pirrone - Monica helped our team with an SOS project. We had a last-minute decision to include more in-depth information to our donors, and we needed specific criteria for an import.

Not only did Monica help with this, but she also provided us advice on which fields were also available or better for clarity for donor clarity. Thank you!

Richard Moquino - Richard is an amazing custodian; he talks to students just as much as housing staff and has relationships with not only staff but students as well.
