On June 5, the College will hold its annual staff picnic. At this event, staff gather in the Sunken Garden to catch up with colleagues and to recognize staff for their years of service and achievement.
Highlighted below are five staff members who are celebrating their 25th year at the College, sharing fun facts, favorite memories, accomplishments, and more.
“I love hanging out with my 11 grandchildren. I have made a special birthday cake for all of them since they were born. I just finished my 106th cake, and I can still do a backflip in my pool.”
—Rose McNulty, executive assistant to the chief alumnae relations and development officer, on something most people at the College would not know about her.
“I am about to meet my fourth president (and if you add Mary Pat—my first official Bryn Mawr event was her going away party—that's five of the ten presidents! I really have been here a long time).”
—Matthew Rice, network and systems engineer in LITS, on a significant milestone he has witnessed during his tenure. Read the full Q&A.
“I am a huge Philadelphia Eagles fan, so one of my favorite memories is being able to help lead the 'EAGLES' cheer at the Eagles pep rallies on campus when they've gone to the Super Bowl!”
—Angie Sheets, associate dean for residential life and student engagement, on a favorite Bryn Mawr memory. Read the full Q&A.
“I have helped or led the implementation of Bionic, Harris Connect, iModules, and finally Net Community. I love this part of my job. I love setting up computer systems to help end users accomplish their work with as little fuss as possible.”
—Megan Ward, communications specialist in Alumnae/I Relations and Development, on professional accomplishments she is proud of. Read the full Q&A.
“I honestly don't know where 25 years have gone, but I am happy I was here. Bryn Mawr has given me professional opportunities for which I am very grateful. The community has always been so supportive and always there for me, which has made coming to work a pleasure. My time at Bryn Mawr will always be special and means the world to me.”
—Mary Eldon, employee relations and benefits specialist in Human Resources, on her time at Bryn Mawr.
Every summer, staff gather for a picnic to celebrate the end of the academic year and to honor the achievements of their colleagues. Service awards are given out to recognize individuals who have five, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35 and 40 years of employment with the College. We'll be posting a full listing of staff members recognized for their years of service following the picnic and profiling more long-serving staff in the future.
