Dear Campus Safety and Emergency Management Services Colleagues,
On behalf of our Command Staff, we are pleased to announce that Residential Community Safety Officer (RCSO) Donald Plantz and Emergency Communication Center (ECC) Dispatchers Josh Lewis and Richard Curran have been selected as our February 2025 Employees of the Month.
RCSO Donald Plantz has been an invaluable member of the Residential Safety team since 2021. He is highly respected by residents across all halls he serves, with many acknowledging his commitment to building genuine connections. Donald consistently makes an effort to learn each student’s name, ensuring everyone feels seen and valued. His thoughtful gestures, like decorating his RCSO post for the holidays, provide comfort to students who are far from home, creating a sense of community for those unable to spend time with their families.
Dispatchers Josh Lewis and Richard Curran are being recognized for their continued outstanding professionalism and teamwork. Despite managing multiple responsibilities, including dispatching resources and handling incoming calls, both Dispatchers Lewis and Curran displayed remarkable composure and coordination under pressure during a recent experience that was particularly challenging for our community. Both Dispatchers Lewis and Curran exemplify true dedication to their roles and display empathy, thoughtfulness and kindness regardless of the circumstances.
Together, their actions reflect the highest standards of care, professionalism, and teamwork.
Congratulations to RCSO Plantz, Dispatcher Lewis, and Dispatcher Curran on this well-deserved recognition.
