Traun Green, emergency dispatcher for UPD, named 'Outstanding Employee of the Quarter'

Please join the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Administrative Services in congratulating their 'Outstanding Employee of the Quarter,' Emergency Dispatcher Traun Green, who was selected by his peers for his exemplary work as an emergency dispatcher with the University Police Department.

When Anchorage was hit in early September with a large-scale windstorm, UAA was thrust into darkness and left without reliable access to radios, telephones or electricity. Traun could have gone home after his shift, yet he chose to stay and help the on-coming dispatcher by working to assist and alert Housing, UAA staff, the Anchorage Police and Fire Departments, as well as UPD officers, to emergency and awareness updates and notifications.

He went above and beyond to make sure UAA and the surrounding Anchorage areas were as safe as possible without even being asked. Traun is an appreciated and respected associate with our UPD, whose perseverance and accountability truly make a difference for our campus.

Thank you for your commitment, Traun!
