We all appreciate receiving our mail and paychecks, but many of us are not aware of the amount of work that goes on behind the scenes. Justo Sotomayor, this month's STAR, has been working in SF State's Mail Services, a part of the University's Procurement department, for 12 years. Sotomayor's day starts at 7.30 a.m., when he supervises the sorting and distribution of incoming mail to the entire campus. It is quite a feat, considering that the mail room receives 80,000 to 100,000 pieces of mail each week. Sotomayor ensures that all incoming and outgoing mail is handled promptly and efficiently sent to both local and international destinations like Vietnam and Ethiopia. He places care and attention to his daily duties. "Every day is a challenge because every piece of mail is important," Sotomayor said. Once a month, Sotomayor makes sure that the Payroll Office receives all employee paychecks from Sacramento and is then responsible for delivering the paychecks to departments in the University in a timely manner. A familiar face among the campus community, Sotomayor makes weekly visits to different departments, personally addressing any problems the department may be having with mail services. "Justo is an outstanding employee in the mail services operation. He is a go-to guy; he always has the answer to a question. He goes above and beyond whenever called upon to ensure the continued excellent service that is provided by he and all the mail room staff, while always maintaining his warm, gregarious and genuinely good natured spirit," said Stephen C. Smith, director of the Procurement department. Sotomayor lives with his wife in Daly City, where their three children were raised. During the weekends, Sotomayor enjoys spending time with his four grandchildren. "Being a grandparent is the most beautiful thing that can happen to anyone," Sotomayor said. Please join us in congratulating Justo and thank him for making such a difference. As the STAR of the Month, Sotomayor will enjoy four free lunches on campus, a free parking pass or equivalent in one month's public transportation costs, and more. He will also be eligible for the STAR of the Year award.
