Keith McMath is August EOM

Upon learning he'd been selected as UIS Employee of the Month for August 2013, Keith McMath said what his nominator probably expected him to say: "You just do what needs to be done for those that we serve."

Keith, who works as the Assistant Director of Housing, was commended by his nominator for always putting students first and treating them respectfully. "He will patiently and professionally address student concerns, taking time to meet with them individually," his nominator writes. "Keith is the epitome of working well and relating well to residents, their parents, our campus staff and colleagues, vendors and contractors, and other internal and external stakeholders."

When someone is needed to resolve a problem, Keith is the person to turn to. "When I ask him to look at something or take on a new challenge, his standard reply is 'I'm on it,'" writes his nominator. "And I can absolutely trust that he is because, invariably, it gets done sooner than expected. He is the consummate team player."

"He brings his A-game on a daily basis to the Residence Life Team!"
