Since Chris joined the maintenance team he has strived to become one of the hardest workers. He shows his dedication to his job by showing up first and always getting involved with everything going on. Also since his switch, he has become a real asset to the department. Chris has taken the time to share his previous operational experience and also continue to grow and learn.

Lei is our graduate student bus driver, and one of our most reliable employees. Lei walked into our office one day looking for a job, and we couldn't believe he already had a commercial drivers license. Not only is Lei reliable, he is very much loved by the entire staff and the students. Our office would like to honor him and show how proud we are of him for being a GREAT student as well as a cherished employee. Lei never has had a complaint or an accident with a Buff Bus. Lei is graduating in May, and we hope he still visits us once in a while… it’s been our pleasure knowing Lei Qisheng.
