On July 1, National Postal Worker Day recognizes the dedication and contributions of postal workers across the country. At the University of Houston, this day serves as a moment to celebrate the Delivery Services team for their unwavering commitment to ensuring timely and accurate mail and package delivery for students, faculty, and staff.

Led by Manager Karen Flores, the seven-member Delivery Services team exemplifies efficiency, collaboration, and service excellence. From processing incoming deliveries from major couriers to managing customer service inquiries and executing daily delivery routes, each team member plays a vital role in the department’s success.

The team operates with a strong sense of camaraderie and shared purpose. Whether bundling mail, rotating delivery routes, or assisting with outgoing packages, their collective efforts ensure smooth operations and a positive experience for the campus community. Team members frequently describe their workplace as a 'second family'—a testament to the supportive and inclusive environment they’ve built together.

Their dedication is evident not only in their daily responsibilities but also in the pride they take in their work. From the front desk to the delivery routes, the Delivery Services team demonstrates professionalism, adaptability, and a genuine passion for service. Their contributions are deeply appreciated and essential to the university’s day-to-day operations.

Rain or shine, the Delivery Services team always delivers—with precision, pride, and just the right amount of campus cheer!”, Esmeralda Valdez, executive director of University Services.
