Jaime Cox-Excellence Award

2023: Jamie Cox

Jamie consistently does an amazing job as one of EHS’s Environmental Affairs Technicians managing the radioactive waste program. He is a subject matter expert and is always looking for ways to improve our processes and workflows to make our work as efficient as possible. Over the past year, Jamie headed up a project to clear out the Wright Lab vault, disposed of all the old legacy waste in the Wright Lab hot room, and assisted with the cart conversions for the new autoclaves. His attention to detail when it comes to record keeping is essential to ensuring our radioactive waste program is always ready for an audit. While his focus is in the radioactive waste area, he assists with all of our other waste programs as well. Whether it’s picking up biological waste in the Medical School, helping with chemical waste pickups on Science Hill, or helping cover waste requests at West Campus, Jamie can always be counted on to accomplish every task promptly and effectively.
