VOICES "Ode to You!" Awarded to the Student Life Department

July 10, 2024 - 03:27 PM

The Facilities Planning and Management Department, Maintenance & Operations, and the Design & Construction teams awarded the "Ode to You!" to the Student Life Department in May 2024, stating "working with them collaboratively while they moved into the new Student Center space was an adventure! They are very deserving."

The “Ode To You!” is a department-to-department award that will continue to be passed along quarterly. This new award was inspired by the memory of retired classified employee, Odette Richardson, who was one of the founding members of the VOICES Committee.  During her tenure, Odette was very active with CSEA, Chapter 262, the Mt. SAC Staff Association, and many other campus initiatives. Odette’s advice was always to “get involved.”  She felt that by getting involved at work, you enrich not only your own work experience, but you enrich the experiences and provide benefits to the students, colleagues, and the community you serve.
