Eddy
Quijada, vendor and hospitality coordinator in the Loans and
Fiscal Services Department, enjoys meeting people from across campus.
Fortunately, his job provides him with many opportunities to do so as
it touches on three things that affect many people on campus: hospitality,
outside vendors and student aid deposits.
Quijada audits all of the University's hospitality transactions, making
sure that food and drink purchasing happens within state and campus rules.
He enters new or updated vendor information in the financial system. And,
finally, he deals with student issues related to automatic deposit of
their financial aid and refunds, helping correct direct deposit information
and making sure students get a check cut if needed.
"Eddy is efficient and thorough," said Wayne Kuhaupt, manager
of accounts payable and collections. "[He is] very conscientious
and communicates extremely well with students, faculty and staff, and
outside vendors. It is important to Eddy to provide the best customer
service possible."
Quijada enjoys his interactions with customers. "Dealing with people,
you have many variables," he said. "I enjoy working with those
variables. ... I love it when I can help people with a problem they can't
solve."
Quijada has been in his position for seven months. He started his SFSU
career in 1998 by working at the front desk of the Office of International
Programs and later moved to a position in accounts payable. He earned
an associate degree in business from Heald College.
Quijada lives in San Pablo. He is the proud owner of three dogs and enjoys
playing tennis and hiking. He also pitches and plays first base and all
three outfield positions for the Oakland Oaks of the Bay Area Men's Senior
Baseball League.
Please join
us in congratulating Eddy and
thank him for making such a difference.
As the
STAR of the Month, Quijada will enjoy four free lunches on campus, a free
parking pass or equivalent in one month's public transportation costs,
and more.
