Meet...Kathy
Name: Kathy McKay.
Department:
University Surplus.How long at MUSC:16 years.
Favorite type of music: Classical.
Hobbies, activities in your free time: I teach piano and instrumental music.
Fondest memory: The day that Sean Monahan, one of my piano students, performed as a soloist at Piccolo Spoleto.
Personality trait that you admire in others: Intelligence.
Mentor or person you admire the most: John Brubaker (now retired from Pharmacology) He taught us to learn from the customers we serve. Mr. Brubaker always emphasized the importance of maintaining the highest standards in the workplace. Records, accountability and employee safety made a big difference to him. He was influential in maintaining a positive work ethic.
Most rewarding thing about your job: The warehouse is composed of several different departments: University Surplus, University Press, Records, and Warehouse Operations and Storage. A lot of physical labor is done here, and sometimes this requires departments to help one another. It amazes me how knowledgeable these men are and how much skill it takes to handle large equipment. I think that the combined effort of all these departments working together makes MUSC Service Center one of the finest operations at MUSC.
Word of advice: Come and shop at Surplus and save your university department money.
