Alan is the building deputy for Hampton Hall. He has continuously helped keep the Department of Earth, Atmospheric, and Planetary Sciences running smoothly during the pandemic. He always does a fantastic job, but while many of us were remote, Alan continued to be here to ensure all needs were met. The EAPS department appreciates Alan now and always! -- Katherine Huseman
