As I reflect on my two years here at Princeton, I want to give my entire staff well-deserved kudos for their outstanding support and dedication in maintaining the historic areas of Princeton University. From major events like Baccalaureate, Class Day, Commencement, the Robing Ceremony, and Faculty Room setups, to the reopening of Prospect House and partial coverage of PUAM, their efforts have been exemplary.

This team consistently identifies deficiencies to ensure timely repairs and provides daily coverage for the ten buildings under our care. I deeply appreciate the hard work and dedication shown by every team member — from our longest-serving employee of forty years to our newest hires. Their commitment to Teamwork, Innovation, inteGrity, inclusivEness, Respect, and Sustainability is evident in everything they do.

I am truly grateful. Thank you all!

Would you please extend a hearty thank you to Mark, the workman who came this morning to hang my pictures? They look beautiful!

On November 21st, a member of the campus community reported that she had dropped her earbuds case while descending the stairs in the Wallace Dance Building.  It was noted that it had fallen behind the lattice work that borders the stairway and would be very challenging to retrieve.   Building Services team members Miro Lechman, Curtis Sullivan and Joanna Gruszka made multiple attempts with various tools to retrieve it. Their persistence and resourcefulness paid off, and the case was eventually retrieved and returned to the owner.  Thank you, Miro, Curtis, and Joanna!
