800 Florida Ave. If you arrive at work early enough, perhaps you have seen those of us in the Department of Safety and Security and other departments who arrive an hour early each morning to participate in three-week long boot camps.
Summer is the time that many people go on departmental retreats.
Typically, they are weekends spent at a mountain lodge where everyone sits in a big circle and tells their innermost secrets to gain trust and become part of a team. However, it produces great results. We rally together, share our determination, encourage one another, and cheer each other on to the finish. The boot camp is the idea of DOSS Chief Bernard Holt. But Holt and Captain Jennifer Turner are even more enthusiastic about the program for its fringe benefits of promoting team effort which is something that is useful to all campus units.
