The Comic Side of Work Orders
For the past 15 years, I have worked within OSU Facilities Management as an energy manager responsible for monitoring utility usage and meter issues within Residential Life. In the process, I have had the opportunity to view numerous work orders, often resulting in either laughter or astonishment.
2022 CAPPA Conference
Welcome to Lincoln! The city was founded in 1856 as the village of Lancaster on the wild salt marshes of what was to become Lancaster County. Renamed after President Abraham Lincoln, it became Nebraska’s state capital in 1869. The Bertram G. Goodhue–designed state capitol building was completed in 1932, and is the second tallest capitol in the United States. As the city is the seat of government for the state of Nebraska, the state and the United States government are major employers. The University of Nebraska was founded in Lincoln in 1869. The university is the largest in Nebraska with 26,079 students enrolled, and is the city’s third-largest employer.

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.
