• Notes

  Remembering Pat Mihm Patrick Mihm, longtime University of Waterloo employee who was the first sheet metal tradesperson hired on campus and was later named Honorary Member of the University, passed away on July 21. Mihm worked in the Plant Operations department as a certified sheet metal tradesperson from June 1984 until his retirement in March 2014. He was the first licensed sheet metal worker on campus and played a key role in setting up Plant Operations' Mechanical shop. As the resident sheet metal specialist, Mihm was a familiar face all over campus as he installed, retrofitted, and repaired almost anything that has anything to do with metal, be it ductwork, building flashing, siding, louvres, fire dampers, and supply, return, and exhaust systems. "If you want to learn how to appreciate an organization, do something to help," he was once quoted as saying, and put this philosophy into practice. His contribution to the University went well beyond his daily work, with extensive involvement in governance, administrative, social, charitable, and recreational activities on campus and beyond. He was a staff representative on the Board of Governors from 1991 to 1994, a CUPE representative on the Pension and Benefits Committee for six years, a CUPE representative on the Employee Assistance Program Committee, a union representative on the United Way committee for ten years and was involved as a committee member or co-chair of a number of campus groups, including: - the Downey Tennisfest, from 1993 to 2008; - the Matthews Golf Classic, serving as a committee member from its inception and as co-chair from 2008 to 2014; - the Hagey Bonspiel from 2007 to 2009 and as committee co-chair from 2010 to 2014; and - the Keystone Committee, serving from 1988 to 2014, and as part of the Treat-A-Gram initiative since its inception to 2014. Mihm would continue to serve with many of these groups as a retiree member after retiring in 2014. He was instrumental in originating the CUPE student bursary program, which assists students who are family members of Waterloo CUPE members studying at Waterloo. In 2015, Mihm was named Honorary Member of the University for his contributions to campus life and service to the University.
