Juan Francisco receives the University Award for Excellence

At the 2006 University Awards for Excellence Luncheon held on May 22 at the Jane S. McKimmon Center, Juan Francisco, University Housekeeping Administrator was one of five university employees who received the University Award for Excellence.

Juan defies what is considered status quo and looks outside the box, constantly seeking and finding solutions and answers that so many employees never find. Juan's selfless act of helping wherever needed has enabled him to assist in translating for numerous employees, supervisor and other unit personnel. Juan has bridged the communication gap when translators were in short supply and saved the unit hundreds of dollars in translation fees. Juan is a champion in the arena of identifying and remedying mold. During a carpet cleaning training exercise, Juan observed some employees were leaving an unhealthy amount of water while cleaning the carpet. Without hesitation, he conducted training sessions with all his employees and demonstrated the correct extraction method to reduce the proliferation of mold. His effort resulted in improved indoor air quality, increase carpet lifespan, and carpet replacement funds retention. Congratulations Juan.
