Abigale “Abby” Walser, custodian 3, is a custodial lead in the Voiland College of Engineering and Architecture and the latest recipient of the Crimson Spirit Award.

Her nominee notes that Dana Hall is currently without a day-shift custodian. In “true Abby fashion,” Walser stepped in.

“I work in an old building that has some deferred maintenance issues,” he nominator said. “Abby will always find a way to help with the aesthetics of this old building, from waxing floors during early morning hours to vacuuming and emptying personal office garbage receptacles on Saturdays. All of these duties being above and beyond her description of duties as a custodial supervisor.”

Walser is honored for exceeding expectations and superior customer service.
