Steve Bodkins, assistant director of operations for Facilities Management, will retire July 31 after 38 years of service. A reception will be held in his honor on Friday (July 28) from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. in the main conference room of the Facilities Management building located on Rawley Lane.
Bodkins started his career in 1979 as a maintenance mechanic for Housing & Residence Life. He was later promoted to various positions and eventually named interim assistant director for Housing. In 2005, Bodkins went on to serve in his current role of assistant director of operations of the downtown campus for Facilities Management.
“It has been a privilege and honor to work at this great institution,” Bodkins said. He plans to write another book and enjoy some travel upon his retirement. We hope you will join us at his reception to thank him for his many years of service to WVU.
