Jan Says, 'Don't Go On Shopping Spree Just Because I Left!' – Former Purchasing Card Administrator Jan Terry (3rd from left) warns employees not to go on a purchasing card shopping spree just because she has accepted a position as a Specialist in the Financial Aid Office. She says that Dorothy Bulls (2nd from left) and Carol Fletcher from the Business Office will keep a close eye on employees' purchasing card habits until her replacement is named. In this less than candid (some might even call it posed) shot, Counseling and Career Services director Ty Walker says he was just at the reception to welcome Jan to the Student Academic Services Building...and get some cake.
