John Stewart
John Stewart, general manager of Sodexo at Truman, was named as an Education Champion in the COVID Stops with Us Recognition Program. COVID Stops with Us is a group of local organizations and individuals committed to promoting safe practices in the Kirksville area to prevent further spread of the coronavirus. In December, the group began its weekly recognition program to highlight the work of those in the community committed to making a positive impact. Each week, three “champions” – one for the medical field, the education sector and the community at large – are acknowledged for their efforts. Stewart was nominated for the adjustments he and his staff have made to continue food service to students during the pandemic. This fall Sodexo has worked to provide meals to students who are in quarantine or isolation all while continuing to provide food service in the residence halls and the Student Union Building. Nominations are ongoing and can be made here.
