Rance鈥檚 nomination stated: 鈥淩ance goes above and beyond to make sure the surplus department provides both on-campus and off-campus customers with a great experience. He's quick to reply whenever a department needs something picked up. He's always willing to jump in and help with Central Receiving and Mail when/if they're short-staffed. Rance will drop whatever he's doing to help someone else out with something. He's the go-to guy in the PMM group. Rance has been committed to providing excellent customer service to everyone across campus, as well as public surplus customers at in-person surplus sales.

鈥淩ance puts everyone else on campus before himself. He goes out of his way to help in any way he can; from picking up and moving items for surplus, fixing things around the building, to delivering packages/mail across campus. Rance is a jack of all trades.鈥
