Tony Hamilton (Facility Services) was a recipient of the Kindness Champion award, by the Healthy Relationships Initiative. The awards program is s part of their Random Acts of Kindness Week outreach.
He was nominated by three of his UNCG co-workers. They said he’s deserving of being recognized for his kindness for the following reasons:
- “Every new semester, Tony plants himself at the front door of our building and directs students to where they need to be. He has done this year after year and it is appreciated by our student body. He does this on his own, just to help out students who have no idea where they are or where they’re going. He is helpful and kind and will bend over backwards to help you with anything you’ve got going on. He has helped me move furniture on several occasions. He also strives to do his best to clean his area of the building and keep things looking good for all of us.”
- Another one of his nominators added, “Tony genuinely cares about the well-being of faculty and staff, encouraging us to pay attention to our own self-care, rest and take breaks. When I had difficulty with the lock on the mail room door one day, he came right over. He conscientiously answers the call of duty, and goes beyond the call of duty. When my daughter came to work with me, he bought her a blueberry muffin, which she thoroughly enjoyed. That was a spontaneous act of kindness and generosity that really brightened her day.”
