ALC can be used for medical concerns, such as coughs/colds, sinus or ear infections, allergies, strep throat, UTIs or other non-emergency medical issues, as well as mental health concerns, such as stress management, therapy and counseling, grief, anxiety and depression, psychiatry, medication management and other general wellness questions.

David's leadership and proactive approach were instrumental in the successful relocation and protection of around 200,000 bees as part of the 2024 Old Main preservation project. Recognizing the threat posed to the historic bee hives by construction work, David initiated a well-planned collaboration with campus and community stakeholders, ensuring transparency and adherence to the highest standards of pollinator protection. The careful extraction of the bees and relocation to a new hive, along with the collection of over 60 pounds of honey, demonstrated David's dedication to ensuring the well-being of the bees. This collaborative effort, praised in multiple media reports, not only upheld the campus's commitment to pollinator protection but also set a new standard for integrating environmental stewardship into construction practices, all while staying within budget and timeline constraints.

In all my interactions with William, I have been consistently impressed by their dedication, attention to detail, and positive attitude. It's evident that they take great pride in their work, going above and beyond to ensure that our facility is not only clean and well-maintained but also a welcoming environment for everyone who walks through the doors. One of the most remarkable qualities of William is their ability to make everyone feel valued and appreciated. Whether it's a friendly greeting in the evening or a kind word of encouragement during a busy day, William has a knack for brightening the spirits of those around them. Moreover, William demonstrates exceptional professionalism and efficiency in their duties. They tackle every task with enthusiasm and precision, ensuring that our facility always looks its best.

We started a nine-month leadership training in the CASE building in the fall of 2023; the group meets twice a month. From the beginning, Fred has set up the room prior to the training, as well as breaks down the room at the conclusion of the training. When we arrive the room is set up to our specific needs, and we're able to start the class right away adding valuable time to the overall experience.

Fred is consistent, expedient, diligent and does it all with a smile and agreeable demeanor. The entire CASE building is always in tip top shape, due largely to Fred and his work. Fred exemplifies going above and beyond, and providing exceptional customer service.

Bonnie has a very full workload, but is always willing to jump in to help with an extra request. This particular request was to facilitate moving a project in Unifier from one project shell to another which required reloading 3 funding requests and entering the transfers. She and I "volleyed" each funding request back and forth through workflow in a very short period so the rest of the project information could be transferred. She was just awesome!
