Our Graduates: Matthew Fleace

Our congratulations to Matt Fleace, who is graduating this semester.  An Outdoor Recreation, Parks and Human Ecology major from Loogootee, Matt has been a part of the BUSP staff since his first semester at I.U.  As soon as he got behind our service desk, he began asking questions.  Indeed, he states that his favorite thing about working at the I.C. is talking to and learning from the other employees.  In no time at all, he had lots of answers and he became one of our most outstanding Public Service Assistants.  He was promoted to Senior Circulation Assistant in his junior year, a position generally held by graduate students.  Matt has been a recipient of our Caught in the Act Award, and this year he was named BUSP’s Student Employee of the Year.

Matt’s future plans include a stint in the Peace Corp.  If we know Matt, he’ll be asking lots of questions during his training and once he arrives at his destination.  And no doubt, his presence will be a wonderful benefit to those he works with and serves. 

As he prepares to leave us behind, he offers some simple advice:  “Serving with a smile will make your day and their day better.”  Matt’s presence at BUSP has certainly made us smile and our days better.  He states that he will miss those he leaves here.  That works both ways, Matt, as we will certainly miss you!  May all your trails be happy ones.

Talie Caught in the Act

Have you had a reason to get into our lost & found cabinet lately?  If so, you have probably noticed how much quicker and easier it is to look for a guest's lost belongings. Talie was Caught in the Act of organizing the materials in the cabinet.  She even replaced the dilapidated envelope holding the I.D.s.  Thank you, Talie, for making it simpler for all of us to locate items in our lost & found. 

Anastasia Caught in the Act

Anastasia was Caught in the Act of giving careful attention to our guests' needs while also paying attention to the I.C.'s policies.  This is not unusual, as Anastasia is known by her supervisors as having good customer service skills. 

Thank you, Anastasia!  Your steadfast attention to our guests has not gone unnoticed.

Fall Semester Scheduling

Planning to work at BUSP next fall semester?  We certainly hope to have you with us!  If your plans include BUSP, please fill out a scheduling request form as soon as you have registered for classes.  You'll find the form on our break tables across from the refrigerator.  After you've completed it, please either give it to me (Terry) or put it in my mailbox.  Thanks!

Matt Chosen as BUSP's Student Employee of the Year

 

 

It is with great pleasure that we announce Matt Fleace as BUSP's Employee of the Year. 

Matt began his employment as a Public Service Assistant at the I.C. as an incoming freshman.  In no time at all, he demonstrated an extraordinary work ethic, impeccable judgment, intelligence and maturity, and a conscientious and caring nature.  These qualities made it easy for us to promote him to a Senior Circulation Assistant position in his junior year.  With Matt on duty, we know the I.C. is in good and competent hands.  He has consistently gone above and beyond what is required of him, and we are pleased to recognize him as our Student Employee of the Year for the upcoming (April 13-17) National Student Employee Week.  Matt's name has been submitted to I.U.'s Career Development Center for consideration as the University's Employee of the Year Award.

Thank you, Matt!

Keep an Eye Out

This morning Jeri found one of our group-table chairs near the construction area.  It is covered in ugly dust that will be difficult to clean because of the way the chair is made.  Please know that all I.C. furnishings are to stay inside the I.C.  If you see someone leaving here with our furniture, movable white boards, etc., by all means use your position's power to ask that they stop.  If they persist, insist, or become unreasonable about removing objects from the I.C., get your supervisor. 

Thanks for all.  Your diligence will help ensure our guests have a seat to sit on and a comfortable place to work!
