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.

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.

As Dean of SSEH, I am pleased to welcome Dr. Anne Reeve to the role of department chair of chemistry and biochemistry, effective Fall 2025. Anne is beginning her 18th year as a faculty member in the department and will bring significant administrative skills and passion to the role. Due to a spring 2025 sabbatical, Anne will begin in her role in Fall 2025, with Dr. Roseann Sachs serving as interim department chair for 2024-25. I’m grateful to Roseann for her service in the upcoming year and to Rick Schaeffer for his departmental leadership in 2023-24. Rick will continue in several significant campus leadership roles
