January 2025 - Beyene Megos

It is an honor to celebrate Beyene Megos as our January 2025 Employee of the Month! Beyene has served as a Custodian at Santa Rosa Junior College for nearly two decades, and his dedication and hard work have had a lasting impact on our campus community.

Beyene’s journey is truly inspiring. Before coming to the United States, he held various roles, including mechanic, bus driver, and working with the United Nations Development Program. In 2004, he began working at SRJC and became a full-time employee at the Santa Rosa campus in 2006. Since then, Beyene has been an integral part of SRJC, ensuring clean and welcoming spaces for students, staff, and faculty.

As noted by his supervisor, Mengistab Gebre, “My team loves to work with Beyene, and I can tell that he believes in the college community through his exemplary work. My time with him has been wonderful, and I am grateful to be his manager.”

Beyene’s personal journey adds to his remarkable character. He is a devoted family man, married with five sons, four daughters-in-law, and eight grandchildren. His humility and kindness resonate with everyone he meets, and his example of service and perseverance inspires us all.

Reflecting on this recognition, Beyene expressed his gratitude for being nominated and thanked his supervisor and colleagues for their support throughout his journey at SRJC.

Congratulations to Beyene Megos for this well-deserved recognition as Santa Rosa Junior College’s January 2025 Employee of the Month!
