Campus Life’s Administrative Professionals Day Luncheon is back
The Administrative Professionals Day Luncheon – for all Campus Life administrative support staff – was hosted in April at the Carter Center. The event, founded in 2012, was last held in 2019, prior to the pandemic. “We were glad to be back together to honor our hardworking administrative staff,” said Mekeshua North, director of human resources for Campus Life and the event founder. “Some of our colleagues had not met in-person with each other for two years and some had never met new team members. So, this was the perfect opportunity to gather and honor them all.” The event featured a professional development presentation by Venus Miller, HR’s assistant manager of staff development and engagement, on The Four Agreements: A Practical Guide to Personal Freedom, by self-help author don Miguel Ruiz. Participants also enjoyed a catered lunch, mini-massages, gift bags, a tour of the Carter Center, and brief remarks by Campus Life’s Dean Enku Gelaye and VP David Clark.
