Custodial Services Staff Appreciation


Week of September 13th-19th

During International Executive Housekeepers Week the University of Vermont Custodians  will receive recognition for their commitment to provide a cleaner, safer, healthier
environment for our university community here at UVM.  Students, faculty, and staff are all encouraged to express their appreciation to their building housekeeper during this
week of celebration.

The theme for this weeks event will be centered on the Custodial Services Core Values contained in the acronym "I CARE" - Integrity, Commitment, Accountability, Respect, Excellence

International Executive Housekeepers Association, formed in 1930, is a professional and educational organization for individuals involved in or directly affiliated with the various
facilities management and allied professions.  Through this organization, individuals can attain education, share research, and achieve recognition for success while interacting with colleagues
within the career environment.

International Housekeeping Week History

Since 1981 IEHA has celebrated International Housekeeping week.  UVM began celebrating this two years ago with a "thank you" lunch for our staff..  We see this as an opportunity for
the entire UVM community to say "thank you" to all of the custodians that service the campus.  We ask that everyone take the opportunity to thank the custodian in their area in a way that you see as appropriate.  

During this week you will see banners throughout campus, a posting on the UVM calendar, displays on information monitors, and posters displayed to bring this information forward to the campus community.

Say "Thank You" to a custodian today.
