Josh Jordan: Assistant Baseball Coach/Recruiting Coordinator – EXCELLENCEJosh has been the epitome of excellence. He has shown excellence in everything he has done. To say he is good at his job is an understatement, recruiting the #1 ranked recruiting class in the country. The way he interacts with our players he is loved because of the love he shows them. Personally as a new employee he has gone above and beyond helping me get settled in to Baton Rouge, LSU, as well as my new position. I will always be grateful for the friend, co-worker, and example he has been. ~nominated by Brent HaringKyle Koncar: Assistant Director of Operations – SERVICEKyle joined our department a little over a year ago, but it feels like he has been here forever. He has embraced our culture and continues to help us grow in every aspect. I personally needed some help a few weeks ago and he stepped up and worked on his day off without any complaints. I appreciate you, Kyle! ~nominated by Kaylen ThorntonJon Pfeifer: Director of Buildings & Grounds – EXCELLENCE, RESPECT, SERVICEWe received an email from another institution about the hospitality Jon displayed during a site visit to our beach volleyball facility. From the email: "Jon Pfeifer was our host and took us through many of your facilities. He was extremely helpful and conscientious. Jon is very knowledgeable and passionate about LSU. In all my visits to campuses during my tenure for various reasons, I have never been treated so cordially. Your beach volleyball coaches were also very helpful and accommodating. The knowledge we gained that day was very beneficial. LSU is a first-class program." ~ nominated by Andrea TepeAmanda Shaffer: Database Coordinator – INTEGRITYAmanda embodies and practices integrity in her day-to-day work.
