| Facilities Operations and Development | From: Ernie McVay
This group of Campus Shop staff members all spent hours of their day loading and unloading 150 heavy tables, podiums, chairs, poles/bases, etc., to Ohio Stadium, French Field House and the RPAC to be used for setting up for Spring 2025 commencement. Despite the heavy lifting, they do it with smiles on their faces and an eager willingness to help out every time they are asked. The staff at the Commencement Office and I greatly appreciate their efforts.

Goes Above and Beyond to: JR Rinehart, Jason Warthman, Chuck Kaiser, Scott Myers, Brandon Petty, Jeff France, Brock Smith, Eric Merritt, Mary Leciejewski, Molly Kathleen
| Facilities Operations and Development | From: Logan Gould
I want to extend my sincere appreciation to JR Rinehart and Jason Warthman’s teams for their incredible work in executing the Ohio EPA Recycling Ohio Grant, awarded to the university in 2024. Thanks to their efforts, six water bottle refill stations were successfully installed in six academic buildings. Despite encountering roadblocks, JR and Jason found solutions and ensured the project was successful completed on time.
I’d also like to recognize Chuck Kaiser, Scott Myers, Brandon Petty, Jeff France, Brock Smith, and Eric Merritt for their hard work and dedication over the past two weeks in installing these stations. Many of these buildings presented challenges due to their age, requiring problem-solving with plumbing and electrical issues—but they made it happen.
Additionally, I want to acknowledge and appreciate those working behind the scenes, including Mary Leciejewski, Molly Kathleen, and anyone else who contributed, for their support in securing the Ohio EPA grant while I was still a student intern. Their efforts played a crucial role in making this project possible.
I truly appreciate the dedication of everyone involved. As someone still early in my career at Ohio State, it means a lot to work alongside such a skilled and committed team to help drive sustainability at the university.
Thank you all!
