Energy Technology Student Wins the "Verizon Employee Environmental Excellence Award"

William Stahlman, Energy Technology student, wins the Verizon Employee Environmental Excellence Award in recognition of his 2014 sustainable efforts in the office and in his community. 


Nomination Excerpt:

From the onset of our department, William has spearheaded our group’s green initiative. He proactively sought resources within Verizon to establish a recycling program and procure recycling containers for our office. William has created recycling signs that he has placed in our kitchen area to educate fellow employees on the benefits of recycling and the types of materials that can be recycled. 

His dedication and contribution to the environment extends beyond Verizon. William is a small business owner who operates an outdoor recreational business that allows people to experience the benefits of biking, boating, kayaking, and other outdoor activities. Over the past several years William has also dedicated much of his personal time to pursuing a college degree in renewable energy.

As the supervisor of Verizon’s Video Hub Office in Harrisburg, PA I am extremely appreciative that William has championed our group’s green initiative and brought awareness to recycling, energy savings, and other green initiatives to our employees. It is people like William Stahlman who will work vigorously to ensure our Earth’s natural resources will remain for future generations. I can’t thank him enough for all of his efforts.
