Goes Above and Beyond to: Lance Shinnick
| Facilities Operations and Development | From: Tracy Braund
Lance consistently provides outstanding customer service to those of us who work in the Math Complex, but this particular example highlights how he goes above and beyond for others as well. On the second day of classes, a new freshman realized they had left an item in a classroom in Enarson Hall. After I was unable to find anyone with access to the room, I contacted Lance. He immediately set aside what he was working on, obtained a key to the building, and met us there so the student could retrieve the item.
Through this simple act of kindness, Lance served as an ambassador for Ohio State. He showed this student that people here genuinely care and that, despite the size of the university, it is still a community where people support one another and work together to help.-
Goes Above and Beyond to: Cedric Johnson
| Administration | From: Angelina Gallego
I forgot a meaningful item on the bus, and he made sure to make my visit to the office to pick up my item a kind and personable experience. As a new employee it meant a lot to be treated with such care.
Team Player & Collaborator to: Patrick Jones
| Office of Technology and Digital Innovation | From: Drarelle Blassingame
If you were a student worker on the Enterprise Integration Services and Data Management team in the last 5 years then you know Patrick very well. He had and still has a tremendous positive impact to student workers in their time on our team. Patrick is the glue between our full-time staff members and student workers, often carving out time to teach and instruct students on data engineering fundamentals, principles and cloud services.
All of the students that were under Patrick's tutelage have gone on to have successful careers in industries such as finance software, logistics and even some landing full-time positions here at the university. Patrick has a special way of engaging student workers in a meaningful way, offering advice that extends well beyond technical development and truly cares about the well-being of OTDI's student workers and the collective mission.
It has been a joy to collaborate with Patrick over the last five years and to see the results of his hard work reflect in the lives of people seeking to better themselves and their families here at the Ohio State University. Thank you Patrick for your engagement, professionalism and commitment to the institution's mission.
