΢Ȧ Spotlight: Anita Miczek

Anita Miczek

Anita Miczek, assistant to the director of sponsored research, is retiring after 35 years. 

Miczek said that when her journey at ΢Ȧ began, she saw it as an opportunity to utilize her office skills. Little did she know it would become a long-term career highlighted by personal relationships, professional accomplishments, and twice receiving the President’s Award.

Of her many fond memories of her time at ΢Ȧ, Miczek said one of her favorites is entertaining students and faculty at an annual picnic. Serving a home-cooked meal alongside a few competitive games of Frisbee or horseshoes was her favorite way to celebrate a successful year.

Miczek said the things she will miss most have one thing in common: Other people’s kindness. This came in many ways, she said, from a congenial atmosphere when she arrived every morning to daily greetings from her colleagues Bill Tomlinson and Mary Hoehn.

Miczek offered her friends at ΢Ȧ some advice: “Always treat people with respect and remember to thank others for a job well done. A little word of thanks goes a long way.”
