What we do matters
The ice cream social has always been a significant opportunity for me to personally thank you for everything you do for the university. I see your work and how our team takes on challenges every day to keep the campus running and working. What we do together is immensely important.
Staying safe in the summer weather
As the temperatures rise, learn how to identify signs and symptoms, the risks related to heat-related illnesses and how to protect yourself by completing the Heat Stress Awareness course. It is important to recognize the signs and symptoms early on so that more serious heat disorders can be prevented.
Streamlining backfills and recruitment for Custodial Services
Custodial Services will be streamlining the process for identifying backfills and facilitating staff moves and recruitment. This change will help facilitate quicker moves of internal staff who are interested in moving to a new shift, and create a quicker turnaround time for hiring and onboarding new staff to backfill vacant assignments.
Working behind the scenes to ensure a safe and efficient campus
As our campus winds down for the summer term, Facilities’ Energy & Water Services has been busy ensuring safety and smooth operations throughout our campus.
