Did you know there's a National Custodian Day? It is commemorated on October 2nd every year and this year, Facilities Management celebrated our CUIMC custodial staff on Monday, October 3. The day is known by many names, including National Custodial Workers Recognition Day, Custodial Worker Day, National Janitor Day, National Custodian Appreciation Day, and Custodial Staff Appreciation Day, among others.

Custodians, janitors, housekeeping, whatever we might call them, they are the amazing people who keep CUIMC clean and operating smoothly. They work hard and often behind the scenes or after-hours. Custodial work can be easily overlooked and often goes unacknowledged. Their dedicated contributions are absolutely deserving of this kind of recognition and so much more.
