Employee of the Month

University Recreation (UREC) is extremely proud of all of its student employees and the continuous hard work and dedication they put forth to making UREC better each day.  Each month, all areas select an Area MVP. Out of this group of MVP's, the Employee of the Month is selected. Below are the current January winners.

January Employee of the Month: Johnathon McKenzie

Johnathon McKenzie serves as the Marketing Photographer for University Recreation.

We really appreciated Johnathon coming in at All-Staff and taking all the student employees' headshots. Johnathon can be seen not only within UREC, but also around on campus either working out, running on campus, and/or sharing his craft with other students across UWG. Johnathon's peers described him as someone who's always willing to help out. His level of teamwork, dedication, awareness of personal wellness, and professionalism helped with choosing Johnathon as our January Employee of the Month. Johnathon's easy going personality and smile makes him a welcoming face to anyone that encounters him and we are thankful to have Johnathon as a part of the UREC family!
