The College of Design’s P&S Council invites you to this farewell reception for Shawnia Silverthorn from 1:30–2:30 p.m. Monday, Nov. 10, in 130 Design. After 2.5 years as our administrative assistant in the main office, she will be moving to a new position with the Research Farms and Research & Discovery departments in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences. Her last day in Design will be Friday, Nov. 14.
In her current role, Shawnia has supported our associate deans and the college community at large—greeting visitors, assisting callers, coordinating meetings, and providing day-to-day administrative support to faculty and staff. She has become the “go-to” person for information, organization, and humor when needed. Her responsibilities have spanned from managing calendars, organizing internal events, and serving as the college’s key coordinator to maintaining essential records and supplies, even occasionally assisting with faculty searches. She has helped refine and streamline several administrative processes, helping us operation more smoothly and effectively.
Join us to thank Shawnia for her dedicated service to the college and wish her well in her role. Refreshments will be served, and a notebook will be available to share memories and farewell messages. For those unable to attend the reception, the notebook will then be available in the Student Services Office until Nov. 14 if you’d like to add your well wishes.
