How did you feel when awarded the Randy Matson '67 Association of Former Students Award? Is there anyone you would like to thank or give recognition to? “I was humbled and completely caught off guard. I thought we were there to pay respects to a colleague who was retiring when it turned out I was getting this award. This sounds cliché, but I did not get into this field for awards but because I love what I do and I enjoy the opportunities and experiences it provides. Being recognized by the Division and receiving this award means a lot considering how much of what we do is for the students.

I would like to thank all the people who have contributed to my ongoing development at A&M. From my first supervisors, Jerrod Jackson and Drew McMillen, to my current team who makes my life easier—Evelyn Dorsey, Christian Miller, Emily Patterson, Alyssa Moncrief, Ryan Madison, and my current supervisor, James Nash, who allows me the freedom to fail and succeed. Our former director, Dennis Corrington, and current director, Rick Hall, for their belief in me; and last but certainly not least, the numerous students I have worked alongside during my time in Intramural Sports and on the Facility Operations side of things. Everyone I have worked with or shared time with, I am the person I am because of them.”

CHRISTIAN MILLER
“I was definitely shocked when I found out I won the award. I was back home with my family and my wife had arranged a surprise reveal to let me know I’d received the award. I’m not usually a fan of surprises, but it was very humbling and I feel honored. I want to thank those who took the time to nominate me. I’d also like to thank all of the professionals in the department, especially the Facilities team who have empowered me to be successful in this role. Finally, I’d be remiss if I didn’t thank our students who keep me on my toes and make sure that there are no boring days. Seeing them grow and develop is the best part of my job!”
