Facilities Division had four Finance & Business Awards for Excellence Winners.

Rick Hinton, Lisa Johnson, Sarah Ketchem, and Andy Langdon were named winners during the ceremony. They each received $250 check, 8 additional hours of annual leave, an engraved clock, and the opportunity to represent Finance and Business at the University Awards for Excellence Ceremony on June 12 at the Hunt Library auditorium.

Each year Kevin MacNaughton, Associate Vice Chancellor for Facilities, and his directors show appreciation to the Facilities Admin Professionals on national Admin Professional Day by providing a tour of one or more of the new building projects. (Group photo is shown above.)

This year, the group toured new Milking Barn on Lake Wheeler Road. They also visited the Feed Mill Educational Unit, Beef Education Unit, Turfgrass Field Lab, and the Structural Pest Management Training and Research Facility.

Gary Cartwright, Director, Dairy Enterprise System, led the group around the Milking Barn area. Gary (in the red shirt) and the group are pictured below with the newly born calfs.
