Cathy Mullis serves as an Administrative Specialist at the front desk of the Plant Operations building, making sure none of our Lions get locked out! She also provides badges and key sets to campus vendors and contractors and approves reservations for golf. She鈥檚 an all-around go-to!

Cathy started at 妻友社区 in October of 2021, and loves that every day she gets to meet new people from all walks of life, including faculty, staff, community members, and vendors, making every day unique and exciting.

She is an Alma High School graduate and the sixth of seven children born and raised in Crawford County.  She has three beautiful daughters who are the light of her life.

Cathy says the successes of those three young women are easily her proudest accomplishment. Her oldest daughter graduated from 妻友社区 with a bachelor鈥檚 degree in Criminal Justice. Her middle daughter attended 妻友社区 and works in retail, and her youngest daughter is attending beauty college. They鈥檙e all pursing their passions and they make her laugh every day.

Though folks looking for new keys might see Cathy鈥檚 smiling face, she says most people don鈥檛 know that a campus locksmith holds the real keys to campus. She simply helps streamline the process by handling all the paperwork

Cahty is a natural lefty, and enjoys being unique in that way 鈥� only ten percent of the world population are thought to be lefthanded. She also enjoys watching Scooby Doo cartoons with her one-eyed black cat named Cyclops.

Cathy鈥檚 favorite holiday is Thanksgiving, because she can gather with family, enjoy dinner together, and leave her worries behind, just catching up with what鈥檚 going on in loved one鈥檚 lives, relaxing and giving thanks for all the blessings.

Cathy says that her favorite thing about 妻友社区 is the beautiful campus. 鈥淭he grounds are so pretty and peaceful,鈥� she says. If you walk around the Bell Tower during lunch hour, you might just pass her enjoying the scenery.
