PCAPPA member Winnie Kwofie is quoted in an article in Higher Ed Jobs about the unsung heroes on campus.
Author Leah Jackson poses the question, “How often do students, faculty, and staff think about who makes sure the gym is clean, the lights are on, the water is flowing, and the machines are operating?”
Winnie Kwofie, who has extensive executive leadership and management experience in facilities management, said “If you drive to campus, there’s a road that brings you to campus — that’s facilities management. We’ve got to do the landscaping so that you’re not going through the bushes when you’re moving into the dorm. That’s facilities management.”
From lighting on campus walkways to functioning cooling/heating and clean floors, you can thank facilities management.
