To: Dining and Hospitality Services
From: Heath Wagner

I wanted to take a moment and recognize the great team that I get to pleasure of leading. We are going through a stressful RFP process right now and the team has not faltered. With the unknowns of what dining at UCCS will look like in the next few months, they still give unwavering support to our campus community in the face of this! I am so proud of my team, and want to thank you for bringing it, everyday!

To: Leya Schnitter and Jen Kling
From: Valerie McClinton

Thank you for all the care, effort, and thoughtfulness you put into the International Women’s Day event. It was an uplifting event and wonderful occasion to join in community. The panel members were inspiring, the refreshments delicious (and glittery), and the bunnies were the perfect finishing touch!

Mel has an eye for detail and pruning plants to look great recently she pruned up the junipers near Centennial Hall and they look amazing!

Jason has gotten the outdoor services shop looking phenomenal, he got it all organized efficiently and got rid of all the broken equipment that was just taking up space.

To: Josh Hudson
From: Anonymous

Josh has acted great as an acting supervisor; he has made the department feel less like a sinking ship and has helped get the ball rolling on a lot of projects that have been stuck in the mud for years.

To: Stephanie Trujillo
From: Patty Witkowsky

Stephanie stepped in without being asked to meet a deadline while a staff member was out for professional development reasons. Stephanie recognized this gap and recognized that she could be helpful and support this important process and teammate. As the Chair of the Department that Stephanie supported, I am VERY appreciative of her initiative and team-oriented approach.
