Snow Patrol

In a daring expedition last Saturday (Jan. 20), 21 Building Services staff members who signed up for the newly created Snow Patrol faced the challenges of shoveling heavy, deep snow for an impressive seven-hour stretch. Battling 3-foot drifts, team members shoveled their way through an icy ND landscape, ensuring that students and staff returned to clear entryways. The creation of Snow Patrol stems from Building Services’ mission statement to be dynamic and service oriented. When the mission was complete, more than 600 entrances and exits across almost all buildings on campus had been cleared.
