Elaine Champion, Facilities Management
I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to Elaine for her exceptional support in getting our work order processed — one that had been submitted nearly three months ago. When I contacted the Facilities Office, she promptly reviewed our request and assured me, "I will make sure this is taken care of." True to her word, not only was the job completed, but she also followed up with a call to confirm the work was finished. Elaine clearly understood the urgency of the situation. What truly stood out, however, was her dedication to providing outstanding customer service. She didn’t deflect responsibility, and her approach was both kind and resourceful throughout the process. Thank you so much, Elaine, for going above and beyond.
