Sodexo at CSUSM Celebrates National Employee Appreciation Day

California State San Marcos (CSUSM) Dining Services employees were recognized for their hard work and dedication during a special National Employee Appreciation Day celebration at Campus Way Café.

Employees enjoyed slices of Nothing Bundt Cake and received commemorative Starbucks reusable cups as tokens of appreciation. A raffle added to the excitement, with prizes including a George Foreman grill, a Revlon hair dryer, speakers, and more.

“I’ve worked for a lot of companies, and none have ever done this sort of thing for their employees,” said Executive Chef Trevor Chappell, who recently joined the CSUSM Dining team.

The event, organized by Sodexo’s leadership at CSUSM, was led by General Manager Paul Reardon, Operations Manager Bernard West, Retail Manager Marcela Elliott, Executive Chef Trevor Chappell, and Catering Manager Kevin Swanson.

While not all employees could attend, those present enjoyed the opportunity to celebrate together and be recognized for their contributions. The event reinforced a culture of appreciation and camaraderie within CSUSM Dining Services.
