Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you
James 4:7
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Recently, many of the admissions counselors attended the annual North American Coalition of College Admissions Professionals (NACCAP) conference at Westmont College in Montecito, California. Sierra Kinslow, associate director of admissions, multicultural recruitment, co-presented with a team of international admissions recruiters from other Christian institutions with a session titled “International Recruitment: Opportunities and Affirmations”. Additionally, she co-presented with Virgil Angeles, assistant director of admissions, social media, on the session titled, “Grow Your Own: Developing and Retaining Your Community of Color”. They highlighted some of the work Messiah has done with recruitment and retention for both students and faculty/staff of color.
BID FAREWELL
The operations division announces the retirement of Brad Markley, director of facility services and Denise Blackley, administrative coordinator, facility services. Individually and collectively, they have led departmental and campus wide initiatives which will impact Messiah University for years to come.
During Brad’s 18 years as director, he has worked tirelessly to bring a professional level of service to campus. Brad created systems, integrated technology and developed employees. His management of utilities and work to bring natural gas to campus has saved the university millions of dollars over the years.
Denise has been instrumental in the development of all aspects of the way the facilities departments are managed. A few highlights include support in the setup and management of a computerized maintenance software package, building identification and record management, and management of the student workers in the facilities areas. Denise has been the “we” behind the leadership team’s “we can do that” response.
The operations division is thankful for the many contributions Brad and Denise have made over the course of their careers. Please stop by, call or email Brad and Denise. Their last day on campus will be Friday, June 28, 2024.
As the division prepares for their retirements, we are pleased to announce Brian Miller has been promoted to the role of director of facility services, and Mark Graybill has accepted the role of director of buildings and grounds. Brian and Mark will lead as co-directors of the division. We welcome Tracy Gaito, administrative assistant, facility services, as the newest member of the facility services team.

Tech Support – Did you know?
-Microsoft limits the number of characters in a filename. The maximum path length is limited to 256 characters including the folder names. If you have a file longer than that, you may be able to see the file and the path, but may not be able to move, delete or rename the file.
-Special characters * : < > ? / \ | and a leading or trailing space should not be used when naming files. While a Mac computer allows some of these characters, Microsoft does not, which creates issues when the files are being synchronized to OneDrive. Please avoid using the above special characters in filenames.
-Personalizing your Messiah laptop with stickers is not recommended, however, if you have done so, please do NOT attempt to remove them when leaving or getting an upgrade. Tech Support will remove them using proper tools and chemicals.
-We provide shredding. Please bring all paper for shredding directly to the Office of Information Security located in the basement of Old Main (High Center side) OM009 to be shredded. Someone will be available for drop-off from 9 a.m. until 4 p.m. during the week. Special arrangements (e.g., shredding pick-up) can be made by calling Allen Snook, director of information security, at ext. 6790.
