October 2024 Facilities Employee of the Month – Chidi Knight

Congratulations to Chidi Knight, Electrician, Zone 3, for being recognized as the October 2024 Employee of the Month! Knight has received three incredible nominations from Gordon E. Lansdowne, Supervisor, Zone 3; Emily L Ross, Deputy Chief, Police & Public Safety Headquarters; and Beverley Jackson, Comms & Records Manager, Police & Public Safety. 

Knight has shown incredible dedication and care for his role as an electrician for F&CO, and after providing so much support to the George Mason Police Department, Knight and his team have left a lasting impression.

“[He] consistently goes the extra mile and delivers quality work.” Said Jackson. “He tackles every problem efficiently without having to make multiple trips to get tools or materials. His ability to balance speed with precision is impressive and contributes to the operation of our facility.” 

Always eager to work, Knight is also known to arrive early before students arrive to work on necessary projects and is reported to be an incredible team player. He also explains complex electrical issues in “easy-to-understand terms”, allowing others outside of the field to understand the process.

“He is obviously dedicated to his work and every time I talk to him around campus, he speaks positively about his work and the people he works with.” Said Ross. “Chidi demonstrates a sense of pride and loyalty to the university and his department.”
