Meet Us

“I have a daughter, and I treat the students here the way I’d want my daughter to be treated. My motto is to treat people the way you want to be treated. Respect your word and others, and it goes a long way.”

“Sleep is my favorite thing in the world. A well rested mind plays well at work. I don’t work here. I play here. This is my playground.”

“We are all about well being, family, and community. That’s us.”

“Working with good people keeps you going. For my 30 years I’ve been here, this is like my extended family.”

“Our leaders make a big difference. They really do. Co-workers as well, but leaders make your job easier. My biggest motivation is the students. They’re like my grand kids.”

“I appreciate all the students in South Hall because they’re wonderful students. They come up and tell us how they appreciate our work; how the work I do is important. I go in tears sometimes when they tell me that.”

“I’ve made a lot of nice friends. Students mainly. They come to see me and even invite me to lunch. They call me their mom away from home.”

“One of my favorite parts of working here is being able to get outside and go around campus and do things.”

“Everyone always motivates me to keep pushing myself forward.”

“My favorite part of working here is the students. My education is in early childhood development. That’s what I did before coming to work here. The parents ask, can you watch out for my kids, and I do. I connect with them, and they open up.”

“Next year I’m going to try to get a building with 2 elevators.” Although move-in day is one of the most active days of the academic year, we engage in movement every day in our department.

“When you look at the beauty of Wake Forest landscape, you just have to stop and take a moment of silence. In that silence you will hear Wisdom’s voice, bring Peace to whatever is going on around you daily.  A positive quote about working in Facilities is ‘Coming together is a beginning; keeping together is progress; working together is success.’ By Edward Everette Hale”
