Staff
Award for Excellence
Edward E. Springer’s job description as an animal-care worker allows for a diversity of work assignments and incorporates the additional contingent, "other duties as assigned." The schedule is rigorous and the work demanding, with heavy lifting, working around unpleasant odors, and the risk of being bitten, burned, cut, kicked, or squashed. Springer’s can-do attitude and efficient manner have allowed the Edward R. Madigan Laboratory (ERML) to optimize space utilization, detect animal illness early, conserve supplies, provide quality animal care, and complete numerous faculty research projects successfully. Springer’s dedication to the college, faculty, and students began in 1982 when he worked at the South Farms kennel, cattery, and poultry farm. In 1991, he began working at ERML during the final phases of construction, helping to conduct test incineration runs for gaining state licensing. He was instrumental in defining operating procedures for the new containment area and in determining what equipment would be necessary to operate in the new building. Springer has rearranged animal confinement areas, built and installed equipment, and helped to maintain the high standards of animal care throughout the laboratory. |
