Vernon Spencer, MVP for July 2025
MVP for July — Vernon Spencer
| Meet Vernon Spencer, the MVP for July. Vernon serves as a skilled tradesman in UAMS Campus Operations – Landscape. Until recently, he worked in UAMS Environmental Services in Housekeeping. In the course of his work, he puts into practice the UAMS culture of being polite, friendly, respectful, thoughtful, optimistic and compassionate. Please read what one of his nominators wrote about how he does that:
Vernon has been working in Environmental Services for several years. I would see him doing his job in the Rahn Building. I would stop and talk to him. We discussed many things including the pandemic. What struck me most about Vernon is his dedication to doing his job and doing it well. He has a no-nonsense approach to completing his work and ensuring that things are done just right. At the same time, he’s very friendly and always waves to me and others to say hello. He’s the kind of person who doesn’t seek attention and may not always get noticed but works hard behind the scenes to provide essential support for UAMS and its mission. He’s the kind of employee that keeps UAMS in business. Vernon is starting a new position at UAMS as part of the grounds crew. I know he will continue to bring the same commitment to that position. I look forward to seeing him around campus and continuing our conversations.
UAMS will recognize Vernon in several ways as this month’s MVP. Look for his photo on the Employee Appreciation Wall outside the Chancellor’s Suite in the Central Building. A Faces of UAMS video will feature him, and UAMS will honor him and other awardees at the year-end MVP luncheon.
