Just as UNCG says goodbye to students who found their way here, it also sends off staff who retired over the past academic year. Each one of them put in long hours and dedicated service to making the college experience the best it could be for each new class that called campus their home away from home.
Forever a Spartan
UNCG thanks all these staff members for their work and wishes them a restful, fulfilling retirement.

In Memoriam
With great sadness, UNCG also had to say goodbye to one of its employees whose family has achieved an institutional legacy. On Jan. 21, Paul Bigelow lost his life in a car accident. He had worked for Facilities for 23 years.
Bigelow and his family has contributed more than 100 years of service to the Facilities division. His mother Sarah Cottrell, aunts Maxine Graham and Carolyn Russell, and his cousins Robin Rorie, Vicki Russell, and Jamar Russell, as well as his partner Serena Raleigh, all have ties to the University. His celebration of life was held at Southside Baptist Church.
Retiring as a Friend
Staff leave their mark on campus each in their own way, long after they left. One of them, John Comer, retires this summer as Advancement’s Alumni House Manager this summer. Ahead of his departure, he was honored with the Friend of CVPA Award. The award recognizes contributions to the growth and success of the College of Visual And Performing Arts through on-going service or support of the college.
