Friday Focus: ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ Facilities powers more than just the lights
November 01, 2024
If you are like me and still shaking off the sugar rush, it feels right to start with a little Halloween humor: Why don't skeletons ever work on the Facilities team? Because they don't have the guts! With that bit of Halloween spirit, let's turn to something just as important--teamwork and the impressive work at ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ Facilities Services. As we roll out our new Strategic Plan, we are creating a roadmap for how we care for ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ--our people, facilities, and campuses--by staying true to our core values of Connection, Reliability, Safety, Stewardship and Responsiveness. Our vision is ambitious. By 2030, we want ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ to have the best-supported and utilized education and research spaces in ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ.

Friday Focus: It takes all of us
October 25, 2024
On Monday morning, during some of the worst of the weather in a while, Vice Chancellor Guthrie and I walked to the Wood Center as part of our walk and talk. It was striking to see how many people were on campus, doing what needed to be done to keep ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ running. VC Guthrie and I could walk across campus because there they were; facilities crews out scooping, shoveling, plowing, and sanding. Sleet is a pretty unforgiving form of precipitation. Nearly everyone I saw working on our streets and sidewalks was soaking wet. A big shout out to all of the grounds crew, facilities crews, power plant operators and everyone else who showed up in person and on time to ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ facilities services! And thank you to all the ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ employees who did their part this week, either on campus or working remotely, your work is seen and appreciated. In addition to my regular walking meetings, I’ve had several meetings this week to discuss how to handle the inclement weather. These conversations, as much as seeing the facilities crew clear the sidewalks, reminded me how important it is to have a team of people doing their part.
