Student Success
Construction Management Students Sweep Invitational Competition
Construction management students garnered four first-place trophies at the recent Associated Schools of Construction Region 3 Division Competition in Downers Grove, Illinois. This is the first year that Cal Poly’s teams have swept first place in all of the open national categories of Concrete, Electrical, Preconstruction and Project Solutions. “There was something special about all four of this year’s teams,” said construction management Professor Greg Starzyk, who has advised teams over the last six years in this competition’s open categories. “They worked so well together that they made the work appear effortless. You could feel the trust and support that they gave to each other.” The competition includes a total of seven categories; all are open to ASC Region 3 schools — teams from Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio and Wisconsin — while four are open to teams from any ASC-affiliated school in the nation. Cal Poly students competed against five to nine teams in the four open categories. The four Cal Poly teams, consisting of six students each, began practicing in spring quarter. The Region 3 competition was held Oct. 17-20, leaving the Cal Poly teams with just less than a month to fine-tune their skills after fall quarter started in late September.

Retirements
Valerie Bluett is retiring from Cal Poly Arts (College of Liberal Arts) on Dec. 31, after 22 years of Cal Poly service. Bluett joined Cal Poly Corporation in 1996 as an administrative coordinator for the Visual Education Production Department at the university bookstore, processing orders and invoices. In early 1997, she expanded her duties to become the assistant to the bookstore director. Later that year, she joined the College of Liberal Arts, working as an administrative assistant in the English Department before transferring to the Philosophy Department in 2000, where she served as a support coordinator for seven years. In 2007, Bluett became a coordinator II at Cal Poly Arts, diligently serving in a myriad of administrative and support roles for the organization. The Cal Poly Arts staff is sorry to see her retire but wishes her every happiness and fulfillment as she starts her next chapter.
Scott Loosley (Ornamental Horticulture, '80), director for strategic projects in Facilities Management and Development (FMD) will retire Dec. 31 after nearly 13 years of service. Loosley began his employment in early 2006 as a lead groundsworker and was promoted within the organization to assistant director for operations in 2008, director for operations in 2014, and to his current role in 2016. Through each of these roles, Loosley and his facilities colleagues helped to provide a safe learning environment for the campus community. As campus arborist, he has participated in the management of the campus urban forest, adding new species to the tree inventory and supporting the academic mission of multiple departments that use this valuable resource. In addition, Loosley was a member of the Campus Landscape Committee, working with other colleagues in FMD, Biological Sciences, Environmental Horticulture, Landscape Architecture and Natural Resources Management to enhance existing landscapes and contribute to the development of plantings in new facilities. During campus emergencies, he provided support as the operations section chief in the Emergency Operations Center, responding at all hours, seven days a week, to maintain campus operations. Several of the most rewarding programs Loosley had the pleasure of participating in were Open House and Commencement, sharing the happiness of thousands of graduates through his career. Most who know him will remember his commitment to bike commuting, riding rain or shine to campus every day throughout his entire career.
Julie Wagner will retire from Cal Poly on Dec. 31 after over 35 years of service to the university. Wagner graduated in 1989 from the environmental and systematic biology program but began working in 1982 as a custodian to support herself while she was a student. She held that position until she was promoted to oversee the Facilities Warehouse, and for the past 12 years has been an analyst in Facilities Management and Development. Today, she is the subject matter expert for the facilities work management system and related processes. Throughout her career, Wagner has worked with just about everyone in facilities, as well as many technicians, budget analysts, finance and procurement specialists, and IT staff across campus. Wagner provides training and support with a smile and has a real knack for getting folks on board with new processes.
Ladd Caine, electro-mechanical technician III for the Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering (IME) Department in the College of Engineering, will retire on Dec. 30 after 15 years of service. Prior to Cal Poly, Caine worked for 20-plus years as a specialist machinist in a variety of manufacturing settings. In IME, he kept a broad range of manufacturing equipment in the labs running smoothly for a department of more than 500 students and for classes that served the entire college. It was well known that Caine could fix absolutely anything, and he was a constant source of knowledge for all things manufacturing. His expertise and experience made him the “go to” resource for practical questions in all manner of campus projects. Over the years, Caine worked with many students and clubs, and he supported faculty research projects within the IME, Mechanical Engineering and Physics departments, among others. He has been known and often recognized for his high work standards and strong work ethic. He was occasionally hot-tempered and sometimes left a trail of tobacco smoke in his wake, but he would go to hell and back to help a student group get a project done, and he was always willing and ready to lend a hand and tell you a story from his colorful life. He will be missed greatly by students, faculty and staff across the campus. A retirement reception will be held from noon to 2 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 12, in the High Bay of the Bonderson Engineering Project Center (No. 197).
Ben Vahedy, analyst/programmer for Academic Affairs, will retire in December after 25 years of service at Cal Poly. Vahedy has been an integral part of the report writing staff since 1994, originally writing FOCUS reports to support the Records Office on the IBM Mainframe SIS system. Vahedy played an important role in setting up Cal Poly's “Capture” process, which was the university's first automated class registration system. He later moved to the Financial Aid Office where he supported Student Awards, Grants, Scholarships and the automation of Award Letter printing. Vahedy also had a large role in the migration and implementation of today's PeopleSoft system. He currently supports the daily functions of the Admissions office, Financial Aid Office and the Office of the Registrar. Vahedy plans to travel and spend more time with his family. His humor and hard driving work ethic will be sorely missed. There will be a gathering with light refreshments from 2 to 4 p.m. Friday, Dec. 7, in the Administration Building (No. 1), Room 301.
Kurt O. Brown, the Art and Design Department’s beloved, award-winning instructional support technician III for photography and video — a dear friend, mentor and confidant to so many — will retire at the end of December. Brown began his career in November 1984 as a temporary equipment technician for the department. He was subsequently hired full-time as an instructional support technician I in February 1985, and has been an invaluable colleague ever since. Over the years Brown has fostered relationships with hundreds of students who have gone through the program, from art and design majors to those taking photography and video classes as either GEs or electives. He helped bridge lasting relationships with many others throughout the campus community and always enhanced the Learn by Doing philosophy at Cal Poly with his generous assistance and support to students, faculty and staff. For the department’s photography and video concentration, Brown has implemented systems and protocols for seamless lab operations that are widely used by alumni in their own practice. He has also been influential in generating thousands of dollars in equipment donations, as well as funding for equipment through his alumni connections. As a testimony to his unparalleled skills, uncompromising work ethic and overall congeniality, Brown received the staff award in 2000 for Continuing Excellence from the College of Liberal Arts; and in 2017 the college recognized him again with the Career Achievement Award. Brown is retiring to focus on his health and his family. His ubiquitous smile and compassionate heart will be greatly missed. The department wishes him the happiest of retirements. A reception will be held from 3-5 p.m. on Tuesday, Dec. 11, at the University Art Gallery, located on the first floor in the Dexter Building (No. 34).
Tera Bisbee, assistant vice provost, academic employee relations in Academic Personnel and and deputy Title IX coordinator, is retiring in December. A farewell reception will be held from 2 to 4 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 13, in the Administration Building (No. 1), Room 301. Bisbee worked for the CSU for 16 years, first as head of faculty and staff human resources at Cal Maritime. She subsequently worked for seven years at CSU San Bernardino as the university ombuds officer and then added the Title IX coordinator role during her last two years there. Bisbee joined Cal Poly in 2014 and loves the campus as well as the San Luis Obispo area and the Central Coast.
Tommy DeMoville will retire at the end of December after more than 24 years of service to Cal Poly and Kennedy Library. A Cal Poly alumnus (English, '76; M.A. Education, '92), DeMoville joined Kennedy Library in 1994 as an instructional support assistant in the Learning Resources and Curriculum Department to oversee the multimedia computer lab and provide user education and support. He also consulted regarding computer hardware/software, audio visual equipment and electronic resources. As the needs of the library changed, DeMoville transitioned in 2006 to a library support services and system coordinator position in Digital Services and in 2011 became a workstation specialist for Library Information Technology. Throughout his time, DeMoville assisted the library with adapting to new technology demands and integrating new resources, including virtualized software and desktop imaging, vastly improving library services. His dedication and support have been critical to the success of many large-scale systems improvements in the library, and his hardware expertise has been invaluable. He will be sorely missed. A retirement reception will be held to wish DeMoville a fond farewell from 2 to 4 p.m. Friday, Dec. 14, in Kennedy Library (No. 35), Room 511.
