Kifer has been an exemplary administrator with his leadership skills and dedication to providing a safe environment for students and staff. At CWI, he works tirelessly behind the scenes to ensure everyone feels comfortable and safe on campus.
“It means a lot to be recognized by such a great group of schools and directors,” said Kifer. “CWI Facilities is one of the best groups I've ever worked with, and I'm proud to be a part of them. We do a ton behind the scenes to help students and staff be safe and have a comfortable environment to work in. The award is more a testament to what the staff and the department do, than anything I do day to day. It's all a part of being a team.”
