Jennifer Tanzos Retirement
Sadly, Monday, July 8 will be Jennifer Tanzos’ last day. She will be retiring from KU after 21 years. The library team has been fortunate to have Jen working with us in the Rohrbach Library as the Administrative Assistant for the past eight years. Previously, she was in the Student Union for 13 years. The library team would like to thank Jen for her dedication and support to the students, staff and faculty. She will be truly missed.
