SSC Grounds department celebrated Texas Arbor Day with an informative presentation for the staff and students on campus at the Academic Plaza. Grounds personnel including Regional Director of Operations Phillip Zellner, Grounds Manager Mike Teal and Arborist Supervisor JJ Aguilar discussed topics including fertilizer, root pruning, the effects of ball moss and overall care of the trees on campus with students and staff. Grounds held a raffle for two oak seedling trees that were given away to lucky students at the end. After two years of not being able to hold in person events, it was so much fun to be back on campus again. Thank you to the participants of this event.

SSC congratulates Jovannie Lagman on receiving the 2021 Krystal Broussard HR Award of Excellence from the Brazos Valley Society for Human Resource Management.

In addition to an award plaque, a $250. donation is made under her name to the Society of Human Resource Management Foundation to be used as scholarships and research funds.

In the fall 2020 SSC Sports Field and Fine Turf Manager Brian Carey was contacted by Dr. Chase Straw (Assistant Professor of Turfgrass Science) about speaking to his SCSC 429 Turfgrass Management Systems Class concerning management of large athletic complexes. Brian met with the class at the Penberthy Complex, provided a walking tour and discussed budgets, agronomic plans, scheduling, personnel and many other topics related to Sports Fields Management. This year on Sept. 23rd Brian was invited to speak to the class again and provide them with guidance in their preparation for making a presentation at the end of the semester. Two groups will be presenting hypothetical plans for managing a collegiate athletic facility and one for Texas A&M West Campus lawn scenario. Mr. Carey will be attending their presentations to ask questions and be a guest grader.
