35 Years

President Milton A. Gordon congratulates Tony Espere on 35 years of service. Espere began on campus in November 1971 as a custodian and moved through several positions, including laborer and mechanic’s helper before becoming the automotive mechanic — a position he describes as working on almost anything with a motor — in 1986. Espere recently returned to campus on a weekend to watch his eldest daughter, Nicole, graduate magna cum laude with a bachelor’s degree in criminal justice.

Known affectionately as “the oldest living custodian” on campus, George Montoya, left, became a member of the university staff in 1971 and remembers when there were two custodians for each floor of the nine buildings that made up Orange County State College. As a lead custodian, Montoya directs a team of nine other custodians in McCarthy and Dan Black halls. President Milton A. Gordon joined in saluting Montoya’s dedicated service at Staff Appreciation Day June 1.

Like several of Cal State Fullerton’s staff members, Jill Rodriguez came to the university as a student and never really left. Her first position with the campus was as a quarter-time student assistant, while earning a bachelor’s degree in sociology in 1972. After earning her degree she became a department secretary in the Management Department. She went on to a master’s degree in social sciences in 1983 before being promoted in 1989 to administrative analyst in the College of Health and Human Development. In that role, Rodriguez has worked with faculty and staff members on the college’s curriculum committee, on classroom scheduling, recruitment issues and all part-time faculty contracts. She also was involved in the changes that occurred when HHD became the colleges of Education and Human Development and Community Service.

Betsy Stuck can map out her career along a time line of technical innovations on campus. When she joined the campus — beginning with a six-week stint while on break from college — she spent her time pulling registration cards for students, the then current form of signing up for classes at the time. Later she worked on a permanent record card-purging project in records, then a temporary stint as a clerical assistant using a four-hold button device to answer phones. By 1978, Stuck had a permanent position as a problem clerk in the Application Center and was adept at the use of the dumbwaiter that connected the computer center, on the second floor of Langsdorf Hall, with Admissions and Records on the first floor. Earlier this year, Stuck became a business analyst for admissions. Pictured with Stuck is President Milton A. Gordon.
