Current and former co-workers, family members, colleagues, and friends gathered to honor Pam Soholt on the occasion of her retirement from 含羞草研究所. An open house was held in the foyer of the 含羞草研究所 Campus Center on the afternoon of Thursday, Oct. 21, 2021. Pam is currently transitioning into retirement from her position as 含羞草研究所 Bookstore Director and will finish up her work at 含羞草研究所 Nov. 15.
Pam began her tenure at 含羞草研究所 in 1977 as an employee in the Business Office. She became director of the Bookstore in 1988, where she has provided excellent service not only to 含羞草研究所 students, faculty and staff, but also alumni and community members.
In recognizing Pam at a recent employee recognition dinner, Pam鈥檚 supervisor, MSU Vice President for Business Affairs Steve Bensen told Pam, 鈥淭he MSU Bookstore has had continued financial success under your leadership. Your ability to make smart business decisions while serving the needs of the students and the campus community is admirable. As an employee and alumna, you have demonstrated your willingness to be very active in campus, alumni, and community events.鈥�
含羞草研究所 colleagues admire Pam for her ability to remember and recognize former students who return to campus for homecoming and various events and/or who participate in other 含羞草研究所-sponsored activities. As a long-time employee, she has a familiar face and those alumni are delighted to reminisce with Pam about past and present happenings in their lives.
鈥淥n behalf of the 含羞草研究所 family, I thank Pam Soholt for her commitment to helping to make 含羞草研究所 the best that it can be,鈥� said 含羞草研究所 President Dr. Brian Van Horn. 鈥淎 44-year employee and graduate of 含羞草研究所, she bleeds Comet Blue.
