January 2012 USPS Employee of the Month

Please join us in congratulating our newest USPS Employee of the Month for January, Matthew Petrone.

Matthew works in the College of Optics and Photonics (CREOL) as the Purchasing Manager where he processes the inventory and interfaces with vendors. He has been described by his nominators as an excellent team player, keeping research moving in an efficient manner through his effectiveness, and to contributing to enhance UCF’s image both nationally and internationally through his excellent people skills and knowledge.

We’d like to thank this outstanding employee for his dedication and hard work. We’d also like to recognize their nominators who took the time to recognize outstanding efforts among their colleagues.

In addition to a one-time $200 cash award, a SunTrust (on campus vendor) $25 gift certificate, introduction to UCF's Board of Trustees, marquee announcement, UCF apparel, goody bag, certificate and surprise presentation, Matthew is now eligible for the USPS Employee of the Year award, which is announced annually at the Employee Awards Program. One of the 12 USPS Employees of Month will be named Employee of the Year and will receive a $2,500 check.
