EMPLOYEE OF THE MONTH: KARI CONRAD Congratulations to Kari Conrad, project manager, on being selected as the December 2017 employee of the month (pictured above with Executive Vice Chancellor Dr. Kennard Brown, far right, Emile J. David, associate vice chancellor, left and Kenneth Bradshaw, director of facilities, far left). Kari’s nomination outlined how she recently went above and beyond for one of her own projects. Kari was seen rolling up her sleeves to help with keeping the project on track and picked up a paint roller in the Madison Plaza to assist with painting during the project renovation. Kenny Bradshaw was on vacation and received a picture via text of her in action with a paint roller and pan. Kari, jumped in without hesitation and started helping the painters get the task moved forward. This is a shining example of teamwork and a teamplayer willing to help out to keep the project on track. The picture was forwarded to both Emile David and Dr. Kennard Brown and they gave it a thumbs up and expressed thanks for being an awesome team player. It’s this kind of willing spirit that helps get to the end result on campus projects. Thank you, Kari, for being a huge part of your team’s, the department’s and the campus’ success. Job Well Done!
