Summer Training

SSC Grounds department held their annual summer training on May 25, 2023.  The day began with breakfast from Shipley’s provided by The Ground Crew.  Circuit trainings consisted of a great demonstration by Stihl on small equipment; an informative how-to on the CAP portal by Shannon Johnstone, HR, and Christy Mathis; and an exciting yet educative discussion by Grainger/Squencher on heat safety.  Lunch from Wings ‘n More was provided by BWI Companies.  Mike Teal sent shout-outs to each department and Bryan McGee spoke about the upcoming football season.

Sandra Meyer, Office Manager-Grounds, graduated from Stephen F Austin State University with a BAAS in Business & Human Development/Family Studies.

Bolden Scott, Landscaper-Fine Hort, successfully completed the HOPS program.

Cole Gibson has served SSC Maintenance on the Texas A&M campus for over 2 years. He’s worked in Zone C as well as contributing in other areas as needed. He’s been a great asset to the team, but his time as a student employee will soon come to an end. Cole will be graduating TAMU this May with a B.S. in Construction Science. We want to congratulate Cole on his accomplishments and thank him for the time and work he has devoted to SSC. We wish him the best in his endeavors as he moves on to the next chapter in his life. Thanks and Gig ‘Em, Cole!
