EMPLOYEE PROFILE

Name: Cindy Tanner

Title: Publications Coordinator

Major responsibilities: I edit and coordinate production of design and print work, and I design overflow jobs when I can find time.

Length of service at the College: 12 years

Place of birth: Olney, Illinois (right up the road from where Rick Bower in Library Services was raised!)

Family members: My partner (Brian Miller); two English shepherds (Robby and Ginny) and a collie–blue heeler cross (Tip); two cats (Mickey and Rita); and two Morgan horses (Oksana and Ellie)

Something no one knows about you: I have a flowering almond bush grown from cuttings my family has shared for more than 200 years.

Greatest achievement or proudest moment: Most recently—at work, creating the viewbook and, at home, designing and building a bench to store muddy shoes.

Favorite things outside work: Hanging out with the dogs, listening to the impromptu symphonies of the livestock, working on the farm, taking in the beauty and infinite surprises of the natural world.

Most rewarding part of your job: I love to come up with new ways to improve the College—like a couple of years ago, when employees and students critiqued the course schedule and I got to apply their ideas to make it easier to use.

Favorite quote: Pretty much anything Thomas Jefferson said.
