Bret Moreland, Laboratory and Facilities Coordinator, ECEE
Bret Moreland consistently performs exceptional work in his areas of responsibility – from moving extremely heavy, bulky million dollar pieces of equipment to repairing power electronics lab PV carts that constantly need repair, to finding and coordinating repairs of water leaks, power outages, malfunctioning AV equipment in classrooms, and so much more – Bret quietly and professionally goes about his work, ensuring that ECEE stakeholders can continue doing what they do best – teaching, learning, and conducting research. As one of our graduate students recently stated, “At this point in time, these buildings are held together by sheer will. Bret has been keeping the ECEE building together. If I visit the ECEE building 20 years from now I would like to see a statue of Bret as a dedication to those who kept this building working.”
Kimberly Low, Faculty Affairs Administrator and Assistant to the Chair, ECEE
As our Chief Happiness Officer, Kimberly Low exudes an extraordinary level of competence and good cheer. In addition to carrying out her responsibilities as the assistant to the chair and faculty HR administrator, this last year she has taken on both events planning and managing the front desk student assistants and handled these new additions with grace and aplomb. No matter how last minute the request, how inexplicable the situation, Kimberly’s can-do attitude, professionalism, and expertise result in successful outcomes every time!
