Loeffelholz recognized with staff award for excellence

The University of Wisconsin-Platteville will recognize Brian Loeffelholz, inventory control supervisor with facilities management, with the 2024 University Staff Award for Excellence. The award recognizes staff members who provide essential services to the university while demonstrating excellence of performance, personal interaction and initiative and creativity.

In his position, Loeffelholz is responsible for the security, safety and organization of all warehousing locations under facilities management control. This includes maintaining a real time inventory of goods warehoused using the campus' computerized maintenance management system. Loeffelholz says he hopes to make the physical plant run smoothly with the right item in hand and that being named a recipient of the award makes him feel like the job he does is seen and appreciated.

"In a few short years, Brian has completely transformed how Central Stores and Receiving functions," said Kelly Steiger, financial specialist in facilities management at UW-Platteville, who nominated Loeffelholz. "He implemented many changes that have made ordering office supplies so much easier and accessible."

Steiger also said Loeffelholz was extremely helpful in helping her learn the many processes essential to helping campus run smoothly and that he is always willing to step up and lend a helping hand.

Loeffelholz will be recognized at the university's annual faculty and staff convocation.
