During her 25 years of dedicated service, Jeanette has contributed to the fabric of the University in a multitude of positions.
On December 6, 1999, Jeanette began her work at Illinois State as a clerk in the Registrar’s Office. In March of 2008, she joined Enrollment Management and Academic Services. By the fall of 2008, she became a part of University College and was one of many that assisted in the inception of the Dr. Julia N. Visor Academic Center. In the summer of 2012, Jeanette moved to Fell Hall for her role as office manager and is now retiring from her position as administrative aide.
Jeanette also volunteered for commencement and Redbird Move In, coordinated the annual Impact Awards, and chaired the annual luncheon for the Civil Service Council, to name a few of her service activities.
Please join University College at the open house to show appreciation for all that Jeanette has accomplished and to wish her a happy retirement.
