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. |
