Office Sustainability Tip of the Week Wrap Up
With the Spring 2013 semester quickly coming to a close, we wanted to thank everyone for reading the “Office Sustainability Tip of the Week” series throughout this academic year. Hopefully you enjoyed reading the entries and learned some new information that you can put into practice in your daily lives (in AND outside of the office). We covered a lot of ground, so here’s a quick re-cap of the different topics we discussed with links to the original articles:
Utilizing MS Outlook to Conserve Paper
Conserving Energy in the Office
Coffee & Sustainability (K-Cups)
Whoa — that’s a lot of topics! We know you’ve probably already committed each one to memory, but feel free to go back and read through each one to see if you may have missed anything. We guarantee you’ll learn something new! The PCS Action Group members that came up with ideas, wrote, and edited the “Office Sustainability Tip of the Week” series this academic year were Kevin Caffrey, Elizabeth Sanders, Robert Louzek, and Dre Anthes.
Jeffrey Pugh Named Excellent Eagle Employee
Congratulations to Jeffrey Pugh, A/V Systems Manager, who has been selected as the Excellent Eagle Employee for the month of April. A parking spot of his choosing has been reserved for him through the end of the month.
Here is what one of his co-workers said about him:
“I would like to recommend Jeff Pugh for the Excellent Eagle Employee. We have had several recurring AV/IT issues at the Stafford Campus that he was able to get resolved in a timely matter. He responded immediately to troubleshoot the problems and got the issues taken care of. Jeff is always professional, follows through with everything he does and takes initiative. Jeff is a great asset to UMW.”
To nominate someone who you believe is an Excellent Eagle Employee, send an email to Priscilla Sullivan (psulliva@umw.edu) with Excellent Eagle Employee in the subject line. In your email, be sure to list the person’s name, department, work location (with the most convenient parking lot), and of course, the reason why you believe they should be recognized. Please spread the word to other employees about this wonderful opportunity to recognize a co-worker(s).
