Crew Spotlight: Kay Hampton

This week’s Crew Spotlight is Kay Hampton, who most people just like to call “Momma”. In fact, she is the momma of Chris Hampton, last week’s Crew Spotlight! Kay is a Building Services Manager and has been working at MSU for twenty-two and a half years! Kay manages around 50 building technicians. Before working at MSU, Kay held a variety a jobs, such as working for her dad’s trucking company for six years, a daycare, for the billing department for ten years, for Stamper’s concrete for four years, and she worked at Pasquale’s through high school! In addition, she worked for the Greyhound Bus Company alongside her mother and other family members. Kay admires her mother for being a very strong woman.

Kay has training in “a little bit of everything,” but more specifically, she has Hazardous Chemical, Frist Aid and Safety, Manager and Supervisor, and APPA training. She is also well trained in using a variety of maintenance equipment. Her favorite part of her job is working with her staff and taking care of the students. She says she has students from twenty years ago ask how she is and come talk to her. She says she loves these students dearly, would do anything for them, and it makes her feel good that they want to come back and see her.

When Kay isn’t working, she loves to go camping and attend bluegrass festivals. In fact, she says she plans all year to be able to go to them! If she could hang out with any person, dead or alive, for a day, she would choose to spend time with Sam Elliott, her favorite actor.

We appreciate all of Kay’s hard work and dedication to Facilities Management. We are lucky to have her! Stay tuned every Wednesday for another Crew Spotlight!
