Thank the GMWs
You may know this already – we have the best GMWs (General Maintenance Workers) on campus. Sure, we’re probably biased, but Roger, Missy and Kevin are awesome. Not only do our GMWs keep the student union looking good each and every day during the academic year, they spend their summer deep cleaning every nook and cranny of the building. We don’t thank the GMWs nearly enough.
This may not sound like much of a chore, but to get all 80,000+ square feet clean takes plenty of effort! From carpet scrubbing to dusting to washing windows to shampooing each and every chair in the CMU, they work tirelessly to make our student union shine. Plus, they do it all without complaining – really, it’s pretty amazing. Not to mention the fact that they also dress up the building with flowers and summer greenery, thanks GMWs!
We’re so thankful for our GMWs – on top of all the cleaning they do, they also complete many of the room set-ups that you use when you have an event in the student union. Using a stage in the ballroom? Thank the GMWs. Computer connected to a projector? Thank the GMWs. Coffeehouse style seating in the Underground? Thank the GMWs. Teleconferencing cart connected to someone across the country? Thank the GMWs. Banquet seating in 101? Thank the GMWs. You get the picture – whatever you’re doing in the CMU is probably because of a GMW.
So the next time you seen Roger, Missy or Kevin around the student union, we encourage you to say “Thanks!”
