Congrats to Our November "G" Thanks Winner! Brenda St Croix!

Samantha Casey shared: “The UofG Sustainability Office would love to give a HUGE "G" thanks to Naomi and Brenda, who help ensure items are properly sorted at the UC Chef's Hall sorting station. They have been instrumental in helping prevent contamination in our front-of-house composting and recycling in the UC Chef's Hall and have helped educate many students, staff, and faculty about how to sort on campus properly. They both deserve a giant "G," thanks! We appreciate them and their work immensely!

Mark Colvin wrote in his kudoboard nomination: Humongous and tremendous shout out to all of our Housing Team for moving in 5,100 students over the Labour Day weekend. Specifically, I wanted to thank Abby Weagant for stepping up and organizing the whole weekend and working tirelessly. With our facilities manager being off suddenly due to a long-term leave, Abby stepped up, took charge of the entire weekend and I don’t think slept over the full 3 days. SO KUDOS to Abby for stepping up and being AMAZING!
