September - David Van Hook
Facilities/Plant Operations

When I was transferred to David Van Hook on the phone because the original person I spoke with could not help me, he stopped what he was doing to figure out how to fix the problem. David walked through the new software with me after I explained that I had followed the very helpful "How-To" sheet, but it was still not working. David found that the reason it was not working was due to the need for more data entry on his part. He immediately added the needed information while I was on the phone and waited for me to go through the software again to make sure it was working properly now. David was extremely professional, patient, and courteous. I received automated replies from the new software, and they looked the same. I was concerned the software was still not functioning properly and called him back. He was not upset that I called again and took the time to listen to my concern and, when I was finished, explained what the differences were and that my concern was okay. David also went above and beyond to tell me what in the automated e-mails was significant to save and pay attention to when I received them. It is nice to encounter a new person on campus that you have to interact with who is patient and cares about what he is doing and how it affects the campus community. Great work, David!

The Employee of the Month is supervised and awarded throughout the year by Staff Awards and Recognition Committee, made up of members of Staff Senate. Once a month, the nominations that have been gathered are put to a vote by the committee and the results determine the Employee of the month for that month (click here for the online submission form).

The Employee of the Month receives several awards, including a $100.00 check from the KSU Foundation, a $25.00 check from the KSU Bookstore, a framed certificate, a banner, and a parking space of their choice for the entire month.

In addition to the Staff Employee of the Month, the Staff Awards and Recognition Committee facilitates the voting for the annual general staff awards which are held annually at the Opening of School.
