Yaaay! We just had our all staff meeting, and boy did it kick off the semester right! We started the meeting, as only meetings should start, with a copious amount of the finest cuisine… well something like that, it was kind of a super awesome potluck. Kudos to all the staff that cooked and/or brought food to the meeting! We got a chance to hear from all the project managers and the incredible work being done both in functions and in the facilities by our consultants. We heard the improvements made in the quality of the service we provide as well as exciting projects that ETS is embarking on, such as offering iClicker support.
Let’s start first by congratulating Meagan and Chloe for their new lead positions as Recruiting Project Manager and Function Project Manager, respectively. Cheers! We’re looking forward to their enthusiastic attitudes as they innovate recruitment opportunities and function work. During the meeting, Janae Spinato even led us in honing in our improv skills by practicing with each other. We had a montage of hilarious moments improvising outlandish scenes. Are we now basically pro improv performers? Yes and… we’re also better consultants because of Janae’s fun improv workshop.
So what was the BIG announcement that was made at the meeting? Well, (this is hush hush, but we just have to spill it) we’re really excited to unveil Maker Space, a new project that will be showcased in the Moffitt Computer Facility later this semester. Maker Space will be a space reserved on the 1st floor in Moffitt specifically for 3-D printing. Yes that means there will be a 3-D printer available for you to use! And no it doesn’t mean you need to be an engineer with crazy technical skills to use the printer. We, the consultants at ETS, will be there to show you how to use it. All you need to do is let your creative juices flow, and start creating anything… literally, anything. Take a look! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X5hOtJ5jI68
No All-Staff Meeting is complete without thanking the man that is the backbone of our organization, our very own Jon Crumpler *fierce applause*. We offer a very special thanks to Jon who has demonstrated incredible leadership this year during ETS’s expansion.
Lastly, big thanks to ALL of the staff in ETS from the consultants that keep our facilities operating day in and day out to the staff behind the scenes making sure our classroom technology is working, and everyone in between. We are grateful for the incredible work that you’ve done and continue to do!
