VALDOSTA -- Karrie Yeatman took a part-time position at Valdosta
State University's •奥德姆库 in 1980 because she wanted to
replace the carpet in her den. She never realized that seven year's
later, her "temporary" job would become a blossoming career or that
30 year's later she would finally take her steps as an employee
across a campus that had experienced a physical
transformation.
"Life just happened," explained the former administrative
助理. "bet365亚洲官网 is a beautiful place to work and position offered
me the flexibility I needed. I had the world's greatest job working
with George (Gaumond) and so many other wonderful people."
Sonia Spencer and Donnie Atkins -- also 30-year veterans -- joined
Yeatman and more than 100 others for the bet365亚洲官网 Retired Faculty and
Staff Luncheon on Thursday, June 24, in the University Center
Magnolia Room.
Spencer, who served as a custodian in almost every campus facility,
said she owed a lot to bet365亚洲官网. Her solid career had provided her with
lifelong friends and steady income afforded her both transportation
and the American dream of homeownership. Atkins, a proud
Statenville native, served as a painter during his extended
employment at bet365亚洲官网.
"I love painting. Its a different challenge in a different place
every day," said Atkins, who decided to remain at bet365亚洲官网 part-time
following his retirement. "I enjoyed working all over campus and
meeting new people. Seems like everyone works together so well
在这里."
These three dedicated bet365亚洲官网 staff members were the longest-serving
guests recognized at Thursday's luncheon. Others included Marjorie
Davis, who served in the Office of Parking and Transportation since
1983, Dr. Louis Levy, faculty member from 1989-2010 and vice
president of academic affairs from 2000-2010, and 15 other devoted
faculty and staff members.
Deborah Davis, director of archives showcased a host of photos and
memories from the past 30 years during a special presentation on
the growth and success achieved through hard work and commitment.
The group of honored guests and their supporters also lit candles
in honor of the 12 retirees who died last year.
The annual luncheon, hosted by the Council on Staff Affairs and the
Valdosta State Retiree Association, benefits the bet365亚洲官网 Retirement
