Bulldog Award Recipient

The Bulldog Award recognizes "Shared Team Achievement and Recognition" for outstanding customer service practices. Whether an organization succeeds or fails depends on its level of customer service. Quality, pride and initiative are hallmarks of the department's performance. The department constantly strives to excel and provide quality customer service. The department's positive attitude best exemplifies the University’s shared values. The staff's customer service efforts exemplify the "community spirit" of the University. The Bulldog Award for June goes to the Grounds Department, Physical Plant. Over the past year, the campus has dramatically changed in appearance, and as one staff member commented, “It just keeps looking nicer each day.” Another staff member had this to say, “All over campus, there are abundant amounts of perennial flowers that take your breath away, it makes my day brighter each time I walk the campus.” The effort and professionalism is also displayed in the lawn care and edging. This is a continuous effort requiring a devotion to duty given the heat and temperatures that must be endured during this task. The grounds department has also demonstrated an eagerness to assist campus visitors by providing helpful directions to parents of new students searching for the right building. Their enthusiasm, competence and efforts are noticed by all who visit the University campus. It is with great pleasure that the Bulldog Award for June be awarded to the Grounds Department for Physical Plant.
