Howard W. Hewitt – Wabash College has always been student focused. Faculty and administrators keep the college student-centered. Another part of each students’ Wabash experience is interaction with the College’s professional staff.
Student leadership took note of that contribution Thursday honoring Terri Fyffe a customer service/accounts receivable worker in the business office.
Fyffe is in her 37th year at Wabash and has been responsible for student accounts for the past 33 years.
"It is through Terri’s hard work and commitment that our student government and student organizations have remained financially solvent over the years," wrote Brett Gann ’07, student body vice president, in making the announcement.
"In fact, she is partly responsible for the student government pulling though rough years without the College deciding that students weren’t fit to manage finances."
The Senate passed a resolution Nov. 29 honoring Fyffe’s service to students and naming her an Honorary Senator of the Student body.
Friends and co-workers gathered to surprise Fyffe Thursday morning. Six members of the Senate, including Gann and President Kevin Pazour, made the presentation.
Fyffe seemed quite surprised, but thrilled with the student recognition. She stood quietly while Gann read the recognition in the Business Office. "I’ve just always enjoyed working with the students," she said.
