Essential workers are the underappreciated backbone of campus

By Ally Uhlendorf | Mar. 5

Essential workers do a lot more for our campus community than they are recognized for. In order for this campus to be successfully run, there must be people who ensure that the walkways and streets are cleared, the residence halls remain safe and that facilities continue to work even through dangerous conditions.
