For Sharon Whitlock, the clicks, clacks and dings of a typewriter remind her of the beginning of her career at Purdue. Whitlock started off as a secretary for a research lab in Purdue Research Park in 1976. She then moved on to be an office manager for a research lab in engineering, both jobs requiring a good amount of writing and paperwork – but her work days looked a bit different than they do now. After more than 42 years as a Boilermaker, Whitlock is retiring May 30 from Purdue, where she is now the senior executive assistant to President Mitch Daniels. |
