The group of individuals who are charged with snow removal on campus are supervised by John Warren of Building Services, Ralph Johnson of Residential and Conference Facilities, and Michael Loftus of Grounds and Mover Services. The employees working for these individuals are responsible for keeping the snow and ice removed from entrances to buildings, outside stairs, walkways, ADA access ramps, patios, courtyards, parking lots and driveways. As the snow and ice are removed, the Grounds Division trucks it out to the Farm, making a large mountain, to keep it from melting and re-freezing on accessible surfaces. The snow removers on campus have worked diligently into the evenings and coming in early in the morning to keep areas clear. They must stay on campus working out in the weather while conditions worsen to make sure the rest of us can come in safely when the work day begins or get out safely when the work day is over.
Snow removal is a difficult and tiring job.
We want this group of employees to know how important it is and to thank them for their commitment to maintaining everyone s safety on campus during this bad weather. Home Page Copyright University of Delaware, January 1999.
