My CAPPA Story—Jenny Cundiff – Energy Educator/Manager—Oklahoma State University
I first learned about CAPPA in 2016 when I was introduced to the organization by Ron Tarbutton, Chief Facilities Officer, Facilities Management at Oklahoma State University in Stillwater, OK. At the time, Ron was serving with APPA and CAPPA, and he asked if I would be interested in serving with CAPPA as the Newsletter Editor. After some research and a long conversation, I learned more about CAPPA and all that it offered to professionals in higher education facilities management positions, and I knew I wanted to get involved.
From The President
CAPPA is extremely thrilled to be hosting the 2022 face-to-face annual conference October 9—11, 2022 in Lincoln, Nebraska.
This year’s theme is “Every Interaction Matters”. We build relationships – and our reputations – on how we communicate and relate to others.
Energy Leadership Award at OSU
In 2016, the Energy Management Program at Oklahoma State University launched its Energy Leadership Award (ELA) targeting student groups and campus departments. The program was designed to provide energy education and reward positive behaviors which have been part of the Energy Management Program (EMP) since July 2007.
Virtual Supervisor’s Toolkit
Supervisor’s Toolkit has been specifically designed to meet the needs of the facilities management professional. It is a structured, open-ended, and pragmatic approach to developing supervisors. It is not so much a teach program as a development process, |designed to help supervisors realize both personal and professional growth. The program has been newly designed as a full three days of training.
SpawGlass Overcomes Challenges at UNT’s Discovery Park
ver the decades, the location that now houses Discovery Park at the University of North Texas (UNT) in Denton, Texas, has experi-enced dramatic shifts in functionality and ownership. The structure was initially built in 1988 by Texas Instruments as an assembly manufacturing facility for electronic defense systems. However, after completion, the building never saw use as a manufacturing facility, leaving it vacant until about 2001. UNT then bought the site and breathed new life into the facility. Today, the 609,550-square-foot, two-story Discovery Park facility educates UNT’s College of Engineering and College of Information students, serving hundreds each year.

CAPPA Conference Teaser
On Saturday, March 5, the CAPPA Executive Committee met at The Lincoln Marriott Cornhusker Hotel in Lincoln, Nebraska to finalize plans for CAPPA Conference 2022. My husband Troy and I decided to drive up from Stillwater, Oklahoma and make a weekend of it, since neither of us had ever been to Nebraska.
My CAPPA Story—Angie Mitchell – Assistant Director Facilities Management, Southeast Missouri State University
My first CAPPA experience was the 2015 Tech Conference in San Antonio. I learned so much in those sessions and made contacts I still have today! But, an email from Glen Haubold on May 6, 2015 really changed my life for the better. On that date Glen sent out an email letter requesting volunteers for the CAPPA Committee and Executive Board . . . and the rest is history!!
