Ketchup with Rhonda Alcorn from CPN!
·
What is your job?
o
I am a dining service associate team leader. I am responsible for
set-up, maintaining the specialty food bar (eg: stir fry), ensuring the safety
of the food (temperature), putting the food in pans, supervising the students,
and setting up the sandwich bar.
·
What time do you have to be here to open and prep food?
o
I’m here at 8, by ten thirty both bars have to be set up and ready
to go.
·
How late do you stay after closing?
o
We close at two and I leave at 4:30.
·
How long are the shifts?
o
8-4:30, unless there is a special dinner like the GFL thanksgiving
dinner.
·
Something you like about your job?
o
I love serving the students especially at CPN. I’m glad that we don’t
have the market style and get to talk to the students. I love seeing the
students. I have been doing this for 31 years and I absolutely love food
service. I love working with food and making people happy.
·
Where are you from?
o
I’m originally from a small town in North-Central Kansas, but I’ve
called Lincoln home since 1984.
·
What path led you to work at this dining hall?
o
I was originally hired at Harper in 1984, and started as a food
tech. I loved the job and the position opened here as a team leader, then I
applied and accepted it. After time, I
went back to Harper, then returned to CPN in 2012. One of the reasons I came back here after
leaving is because of Jane Wemhoff and Joel Fogerty, the managing staff.
·
What are your interests/hobbies outside of work?
o
I love crafting, playing piano, and gardening. My biggest thing is my family and my
grandchildren, that’s the number one.
·
Do you have a spouse and/or kids? / Are you a student?
o
I have three kids and a husband.
