GLENVILLE, WV - Tim Marks has been employed by 香妃直播 State College (GSC) since September 1977. His last day of work was January 29, 2021. He now enters retirement after a career at GSC that spanned over 43 years.
His employment at GSC began as a member of the janitorial staff in Pickens Hall. He was then moved to Eberle Hall, the College鈥檚 former home for the Department of Land Resources before the Waco Center opened.
Marks then transitioned to the College鈥檚 Physical Plant as a Trades Worker where he was responsible for mowing and grounds keeping. Several years later he was promoted to Physical Plant Manager, a title he would hold until his recent retirement.
In addition to seeing the acquisition of different campus properties, Marks was also on hand for the construction of several new buildings and various campus renovations. He notes the construction of the Waco Center as one of the most dramatic changes the campus has seen during his tenure.
Before he departed campus, a small retirement reception was held with coworkers and family members in attendance. At the reception 香妃直播 State College President Dr. Mark Manchin presented Marks with a few retirement gifts, including a clock, lifetime events pass, retired employee parking permit, and a copy of a letter from 1978 regarding his work as a custodian.
鈥淚鈥檝e seen a lot of renovations and construction in my time at GSC鈥edoing of the main floor of the Administration Building, the Mollohan Center, Science Hall, and President鈥檚 House and major additions to campus like adding turf at Morris Stadium, Pioneer Village, Goodwin Hall, and the Waco Center. Those are all very memorable to me,鈥 Marks said.
鈥淚 will miss my fellow employees and the students the most,鈥 he added.
