Employees of the Quarter
Nehemiah Godfrey,
Carpenter Shop (Engineering & Facilities)
 Nehemiah Godfrey,
left, is congratulated by John Malmrose, chief facility officer.
“Nehemiah went above and beyond his normal responsibilities in his
efforts to correct a roof leak at the (Pink House), and in doing so,
saved the university over $40,000. Responding to a routine leak service
call, he found the cause to be the roof which was in non-patchable
condition. Through the building engineer, roof replacement was
planned and requested as a capital project. Roof replacement by a
contractor was deferred more than a year due to lack of funding, so
Nehemiah took it upon himself to take a hydrostop roofing class.
He obtained approval from his supervisor to proceed with application of
the hydrostop roofing system. The total job ended up being under
$12,000, compared to $55,000 planned for roof replacement as a capital
project by a contractor.”

Brown, Director of Facilities Operations
Raynard James,
Purchasing Services (Finance)
 Raynard James, an
employee of the quarter, was nominated by Sally Bridges, left.
“I work in the Systems and Procedures department which is located in
the same office space as Purchasing Services. We are responsible for
maintaining a training room where SmartStream and Access (Darkwing)
training is conducted. Due to the economic situation, we are unable to
replace broken computers as needed. We are constantly trying to find
old computers or monitors around the office that can be used to
replenish the training facility. Raynard works for Purchasing Services
and his office is located next to the training room. When he
knows I am having a problem with one of the computers or monitors and
need to switch or replace one, he is always ready and willing to help.
He takes time to help me do whatever is necessary to keep the training
room operating efficiently. With his help, we have been able to find
replacement computers when needed. Raynard always goes the extra mile
to help another department when possible.”

Bridges, Financial Systems Manager
Rebecca “Becky”
Bowman, Employee Health Services (Operations)
 Cheryl Brian, left,
Employee Health Services, recognized Becky Bowman for going above and
beyond.
“Becky always works beyond her scope of practice. A recent example was
an employee who had a skin test placed on a Friday. To be within the
Department of Health and Environmental Control guidelines for a 48 to
72 hour read time, the only day the employee could return for a reading
was on Monday. The employee was busy with meetings all day and could
not leave to have his skin test read. Becky walked to campus to where
the meeting was to read the skin test. Secondly, a new university
employee reported to EHS for his post-offer pre-employment physical on
a Thursday. All processes were completed and she was about to place a
TB skin test. She instructed him that his skin test would have to be
read by a physician or nurse in 48 to 72 hours which was Saturday or
Sunday. The employee stated he did not know anyone personally who could
read the skin test. Becky suggested going to Doctor’s Care but the
employee stated he was low on funds and had no insurance. Becky offered
to meet him in Mount Pleasant to read his skin test. Thirdly, a new
employee had faxed in all their immunization records and the only thing
missing to start work was a current TB skin test. Becky offered to stop
by the employee’s house on Monday after work to place her skin test so
it could be read on Wednesday and the employee could start work. The
fourth incident is another example of going that extra mile. Becky was
on her way to Parking Management after 4 p.m. when Employee Health is
closed. She recognized an employee walking her way who was a current
physical plant employee that should have reported to EHS for a skin
test reading that day. She read it, and then charted it the next day
when she was at work. She has the knack for remembering faces and
people’s names. One of her favorite activities at work is to go out of
the office and administer TB skin tests at satellite facilities.
