  • From the Executive Vice President
    From the Executive Vice President Following a long winter of unprecedented cold and snow, spring has finally arrived. As we begin to enjoy the beautiful weather on campus and prepare for University Commencement, I want to take a moment to thank all of the Facilities and Operations employees who worked amid the freezing temperatures and record snowfall to keep the University community safe and comfortable this winter. Your efforts were truly remarkable and representative of our standard of excellence. You can read more about how our employees worked together to “weather the storm” on page 7 of this edition of Off the CUF – our quarterly newsletter to communicate to and showcase our amazing employees and the important work we do to support the core educational and research mission of the University. It is important to note that this is the first edition of Off the CUF since the announcement of the new Columbia University Facilities and News for the Employees of Operations organization. In fact, it was only a little over three months ago, on January Columbia University Facilities 14th, that Robert Kasdin announced the integration of University Facilities, Campus Services, and Strategic Communications, creating the new Columbia University Facilities and Operations and Operations organization. Yet, even in the short period of time we have been working together as one team, we have accomplished much. While this is certainly not an exhaustive VOLUME 16 | SPRING 2014 list, some examples of our work together thus far include: Contents Strengthening Employee Engagement • We held meet and greet sessions with all of the new departments that now report 3 Facilities and Operations to me.
