Campus Champion

Whether the thermometer reads eight degrees or 98, the College has come to rely on Mitch Seamans and his colleagues to move its mail on a daily basis — with warm smiles, positive attitudes and great efficiency. In December, Mitch received the 2012 President’s Award for Excellence in Classified Service, and the accompanying story in this issue of The Bulletin details the many reasons he earned the honor. For those reasons and for many more, we launch the new year with this very deserving Campus Champion.
