Radford University’s Staff Senate recently presented its 2025 Keep’n It Green award to Felicia McMillan, the accounts receivable supervisor and payment plan coordinator in the Office of the Bursar.
McMillan was given the award during a brief presentation at the university’s Staff Senate picnic on May 16.
“It is an honor for me to have been chosen for this award because I do my best to stay organized within our office with recycling, shredding, turning lights off and any other things that fall under this category,” McMillan said. “I believe it’s very important to be aware of our surroundings to help the campus, our offices and communities stay beautiful and clean.”
The Keep’n It Green Award annually honors and recognizes an employee like McMillan who exemplifies the university’s sustainability initiatives.
Criteria are based on one or more of the following: energy and water conservation; waste reduction/recycling; behavior change and/or awareness; and economic impact.
“Felicia definitely deserves this award; she will recycle her calculator tape by rewinding and using the opposite side,” wrote a co-worker who nominated McMillan for the award.
The co-worker said McMillan “keeps up with our Shed-a-thon like it’s Christmas Day. The driver of the truck always expects her. He always tells her, ‘I knew you would be here!’ Which is a great compliment. You can always count on Felicia to keep Radford University green. I’m sure there are countless other acts that go unnoticed.”
McMillan said she “challenges everyone to take this on and see what a change you can make.”
