I want to give a big shoutout to Suzie for all the hard work she does behind the scenes. Recently, we ran into an issue with our BOX folders, and Suzie didn’t hesitate to drop everything to help the D1 team. Her willingness to step in and assist when needed shows how dedicated she is to the team. Suzie, you’re awesome, and I’m proud to call you a coworker. Thank you for everything you do for us, Suzie—it’s truly appreciated! ~ Charles Cunningham
Bex Midgely
Gardener
Bex and Jesse - Thank you both for notifying me of the flood in the north chiller plant. Your quick notifications allowed high temp and the CORE to valve out and slow down the water. The issue could have persisted even longer had we not informed the correct group. ~ Natalie Norlen
Nate Miles
Associate Director
I appreciate Nate stepping in and assisting with an ADA concern on a project at building 860. This wasn't his project, but he made sure there was open communication and responded to the concern quickly. ~Andy Hayford

Alvin Laforte
Electrician
Shout out to Alvin for using his expertise to figure out how to safely reroute a conduit path to a motor so that we can use the wire we had on hand instead of ordering new wire. This let us complete a chilled water pump repair. Major time saver! ~ Christian Liedtke
Sandra Luo

Thank you, Sandra for helping manage the BlueBeam session for the Design Review Standards! As a new process, I've had a lot of late adds, questions, and some date changes. She was a huge help, who made it feel like a true team effort. 🙂 ~ Allisandria Larson

Shoutout to the Core for helping out with the main break at the hyper complex on 2/7/25. The response time and action was astounding and everyone jumping in to help sandbag and address the issue.
