The sign on George Schiller's desk last week read: “Only 68 departments to go.”
Schiller, a 25-year employee of the College, recently joined the Human
Resources office, his seventh job on campus.
On Oct. 9, 1972, just after crews from The Way We Were left
campus, Schiller arrived at Security to tell his first supervisor, “I may be here
only a year or two.”
Today, he says, “I think I hold the record for jobs held.”
During his Union career, he has been involved in paying, feeding, issuing parking
stickers, selling books and registering students, to name a few.
Here, for those keeping track, is the Union career of George Schiller:
Security Office, 1972 to 1975; Finance Payroll, 1975 to 1983; Finance Accounting, 1983 to
1985; College Bookstore, 1985 to 1987; Graduate and Continuing Studies, 1987 to 1990;
Dining Services, 1990 to 1998; Human Resources, present.
“It's been fun to get to experience so many different aspects
of campus from the academic to the financial to student services,” he said.
Eric Noll, acting director of Human Resources, says, “It's a
great advantage to our office for George to know all the people at the College. Best of
all, he knows how Union works.”
And how does Union work?
“Just a minute,” quips Noll. “I'll transfer you to
George.”
