We are pleased for you to meet Thomas for our Team Member Tuesday appreciation post 💛

While Thomas has been with us for less than 1 year he has made such a large impact on our Parkhurst family from filling in when needed, always working so hard to keep the dining hall running smoothly, and for being such a friendly face and welcoming personality for staff and students alike. We are incredibly grateful to have him on our team. Next time you see him please say Hi and Thank you!

🚨Team Member Tuesday 🚨
Today it’s all about Anna!! 
One of the friendliest faces at Jacket Java, she’s always excited to talk and joke around with anyone she comes across! After a couple of years with us, we know we will miss her when she leaves the hive! Jacket Java loves having her around, giving a helping hand to her team and lifting spirits as well 💛 
If you see her whipping up a drink behind the bar, make sure to give her a smile! 🐝🐝
