Vincent Karpovich
Custodial Specialist - 3rd Shift
Picture
Hello, my name is Vincent Karpovich, and I am a third shift Custodial Specialist at SVSU. Before I was hired here in October of 2024, I worked as a janitor for two years.
I like being in custodial because it allows me to support the functioning of the university and also to learn about new equipment. During my shifts, I enjoy listening to music, and when I spot a cool insect or spider, I have to take a picture before returning to my tasks.
Working at SVSU has also allowed me to restart my college education. I had first enrolled here as a student after graduating high school, but it was not right for me then, and I ended up dropping out before winter break. This year, I re-enrolled and was able to earn my first college credits during the spring semester.
I am double-majoring in Sociology and Communication and am currently involved with the Sociology Club, English Club, and Red Poets Society. I was able to attend the Michigan Sociological Association Conference in October with my professors and peers. At some point, I would like to present work at this conference, too.
Outside of my SVSU activities, I like going to the Roethke House and the Hoyt Library. My hobbies include writing, drawing, and drumming. Coconut and Pumpkin are my two cats who are friendly companions. This year, I have been trying various Indian restaurants that a coworker and a few professors have recommended to me. I like to remind myself that new things and unexpected changes will keep me from stagnating as a person, and I aim to improve myself and the world around me.
