New And Old-They Love Their Jobs In a world full of people who hate their jobs, it is refreshing to find some who are pleased with their occupations. This year at Harding, the Administration Directors were a group of content people, and their enthusiasm rubbed off on everyone who worked with them and who were helped by them. Being new on a job is always difficult. Nevertheless, Bob Kelly welcomed the change from being a full-time faculty member to taking on the responsibilities as the Director of Institutional Testing and Research Services. Although he missed the freedom and less demanding schedule of a faculty member, Kelly said that he "enjoyed the personal relationships and managing aspects" his new title carried. As Library Director, Suzanne Spurrier' s face was familiar to the many students who required her help in finding the materials they needed. James F. Carr, Jr. Assistant to the President David C.

She admitted that she would not trade places with anyone in the world. She proudly stated, "I love my job!" When asked what aspect of her job she enjoyed most, Frankie Mitchell, Director of Human Resources, replied, " I enjoy the challenge of employee relations and working with people." Similarly, Don Kee, Director of Finance and Estate Planning stated, I enjoy knowing that I helped someone and seeing their gratitude."
