2024 Celebration of Service Comments

With much appreciation for his many years of service, Ellis Circulation bid farewell to Burt Fields on April 26th. Thank you to Terri Hall for stepping in to provide some extra assistance while we search for a new circulation supervisor. Please direct questions normally sent to Burt to Terri or Cindy Cotner.

We’re pleased to announce that Nicole Whyte is returning to the University Libraries on April 15, to serve as executive assistant in the Administrative office.

Nicole will join us to help prepare the administrative office for transition, as Jacqueline Eiben will be leaving us in late May so she and her kids can join her soon-to-be husband in Olathe, KS. Nicole is an office professional with 20+ years of experience working for the University of Missouri. She holds a master’s degree in psychology, and she brings with her many years of experience as an executive assistant and HR support staff.

Nicole worked in the administrative office of the University Libraries as an HR specialist 2018-2021, before being relocated as part of the HR reorganization in 2021. She is delighted to return to the Libraries, and to be doing the type of work she loved doing for two schools here at MU before turning to HR work.

We are fortunate to bring Nicole back to the Libraries as someone who is already familiar with our organization. We’re looking forward to a smooth transition. Welcome back, Nicole!

We welcome Eli Marshall to the Journalism Library as the Library Information Specialist Evening and Weekend Supervisor. Eli began at the Journalism Library Monday April 1st. He is joining us having recently transferred from the Athletic Department.

MU is pleased to announce the hire of Sarah Mabee as Electronic Resources Strategist for the University of Missouri System starting May 6. Sarah comes to us from Ozark Technical Community College, where she is currently the director.
