After being forwarded the mischaracterization of my former University of California, Davis co-worker, Troy Kirby in The Jolt, I felt the need to respond. Troy Kirby was a great addition to the UC Davis campus from 2012 to 2016. I was part of the team that recruited him onto our campus, where he helped oversee a $28 million annual budget of our unit, along with driving in nearly $2 million of additional revenue. He understands public entity budgets.
Kirby was also a key member of the campus which earned the Sierra Club’s national Coolest School award all four years, for his work in environmentalism and sustainability, helping creating several zero waste events for over 10,000 patrons annually.
UC Davis is not a place that anyone can work. It takes a specific mindset of operating with consensus at a campus of 35,000. That is why it is usually ranked No. 7 nationally as one of the top public schools in the country. On campus we have the Davis Way which ensures that we will not compromise our ethics, academic integrity or passion toward environment protection. Troy was a perfect fit during this time on our campus.
A Saint Martin University School of Business faculty member, Troy’s Port of Olympia campaign is supported by the Washington State Department of Ecology’s staff union (WFSE Local 872).
Troy Kirby has a proven track record of supporting the environment.
