On November 15, 2024, the Finance & Administration (F&A) Employee Appreciation Celebration acknowledged employees’ dedication and hard work. The celebration was organized by Senior Vice President for Finance and Administration Kyle Clark, Chief of Staff for Finance and Administration/Associate Vice President for Human Resources Renisha Gibbs, and the F&A Celebration planning committee. The annual event was packed with delicious food, exciting games, fantastic prizes, photo booths, music, and other activities. From start to finish, the day offered something for everyone, creating a memorable experience full of laughter and camaraderie.


To kick off the festivities, awards were presented to employees who had been previously nominated throughout the different departments. Multiple Facilities and Planning, Design & Construction employees were recognized and awarded for their hard work, including the following:


  • The Rising Star Award was presented to Steve Otto from Planning, Design & Construction, and to Chelsey Falb from Facilities Administrative Services
  • The Silent Service Award was presented to Maria Cabrara from Building Services
  • The Above & Beyond Award was presented to Ben Grant from Facilities Maintenance
  • The Service with a Smile Award was presented to Marvin Simmons from Facilities Central Utilities
  • The Unsung Hero Award was presented to Amy Allen from Environmental Health & Safety

Two lucky Facilities employees also won the raffle prizes from the celebration! Mike Ochat from Facilities Maintenance won the TV raffle, and James Vickers from Building Services won a bookstore gift card after winning the guessing game (he guessed that the jar held 585 lollipops when in reality there were 589 - so close)!
