The work is never-ending, and Storm never stops. He arrives on campus before most students, staff, or faculty. Although his normal shift ends at 3:30 p.m., he\u2019s often still there after most people leave.<\/p>\n<p>Storm takes tremendous pride in his work. Most recently, he was involved in the renovation of the Endeavour Room of the Student Union. The project included covering exposed, concrete block walls with drywall. Some areas were too tight to hang drywall and had to be skim-coated with joint compound. Storm\u2019s smooth finishing work made it impossible to tell the difference.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUnless you are responsible for maintenance-related issues, you\u2019ll probably never notice him. But, what you will notice is how nice all the buildings in the south zone look and how well maintained the paint is,\u201d said Eric Corbitt, director of the Student Union and Campus Recreation.<\/p>\n<p>But people do notice Storm. That\u2019s because he\u2019s as attentive to others as he is to his work. He\u2019s quick to smile and return a greeting or answer questions about whatever project he\u2019s doing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPersonally, I\u2019ve found myself feeling a bit more positive about the rest of my day after running into Jimmy, and that says something to me about the kind of person he is\u2014someone who likes his job and does it well, and projects \u2018good karma\u2019 to people around him,\u201d said Katherine Morris, associate vice president for student affairs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As one of two painters on the Dayton Campus\u2019s south zone, James \u201cJimmy\u201d Storm stays busy maintaining the wall surfaces of more than two dozen buildings.  <a href=\"https:\/\/webapp2.wright.edu\/web1\/newsroom\/2012\/08\/16\/leadership-classified\/\" class=\"morelink\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":21,"featured_media":56597,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[715,2402],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-56593","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","category-presidents-awards-for-excellence","series-presidents-awards-for-excellence-2012"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/webapp2.wright.edu\/web1\/newsroom\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/56593","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/webapp2.wright.edu\/web1\/newsroom\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/webapp2.wright.edu\/web1\/newsroom\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/webapp2.wright.edu\/web1\/newsroom\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/21"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/webapp2.wright.edu\/web1\/newsroom\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=56593"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/webapp2.wright.edu\/web1\/newsroom\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/56593\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":56725,"href":"https:\/\/webapp2.wright.edu\/web1\/newsroom\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/56593\/revisions\/56725"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/webapp2.wright.edu\/web1\/newsroom\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/56597"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/webapp2.wright.edu\/web1\/newsroom\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=56593"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/webapp2.wright.edu\/web1\/newsroom\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=56593"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/webapp2.wright.edu\/web1\/newsroom\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=56593"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
