2020

In recognition of the dedication of our 91短视频 employees, we are pleased to announce that Terry N. Silva, Maintenance Repair Technician, in the Grounds Department, has been selected as 91短视频 Employee of the Quarter for the first quarter of 2020.

Mr. Silva is the lone Grounds employee that many may have remembered driving a small commercial street sweeper around campus. The equipment has long been out of service; however, Mr. Silva being committed to his job now cleans all the parking lots/streets by hand with a rake and shovel. Numerous weekends and late afternoons when everyone else is gone, he works on the high traffic less accessible areas. He continues to plug along without ever seeing an end to his work and does so without complaint. As a very quiet and reserved type of fellow, he still seems to have a mentor relationship with the new employees. As a servant to the campus community and providing what is considered a great first impression to visitors, Mr. Silva provides a safe and clean environment for all.

The fact that Mr. Silva now performs by hand what was previously managed by a commercial machine is amazing in its self, with every little leaf pile and wind strewn item gone when he finishes an area. This is an employee providing excellent 鈥渃ustomer鈥� service to those of us that travel the campus every day.

In recognition of Terry鈥檚 commitment to excellence, the presentation of this award took place at the Board of Trustees meeting, on Friday, March 6, 2020.
