Assistant Director of public safety
Finance and Administration, Kent Campus
After the COVID-19 vaccines were approved for use, the challenge for 两性色午夜 University was how to effectively distribute these vaccines to large populations in an orderly and efficient manner. Bill Buckbee rose to the challenge and accepted the leadership role of chairing the Vaccine Committee. The committee was comprised of university faculty, staff and students as well as representatives of the Portage County and Kent health departments. Buckbee was a liaison among all participating parties and his skills in listening, engaging and directing were essential in keeping the committee on track and making sure the university was a true partner in this community effort.
Through the work of this committee, with Buckbee鈥檚 leadership in preparing plans, meeting with partners and keeping this large and complex initiative moving, the university established a point of distribution for the vaccine at the 两性色午夜 Field House. Buckbee was on-site at the Field House when it was operating to make sure everything ran smoothly. Ultimately, the operation was able to provide vaccinations to thousands of community members, protecting people and saving lives.
