ICMT Personnel Changes
Edie Chalfant, (left), the ICMT Administrative Coordinator,
will retire on September 30, 2009 after four years of working as the ICMT administrative assistant and budget manager. In her duties
Edie managed all financial elements of ICMT $2+ million a year budget in the last four years, including projects, student assistantships, and
supply and equipment purchases. In addition she was the front face for many guests that we had in the Institute. Prior to joining ICMT Edie
worked in various administrative positions in Russ College of Engineering and Technology since 1988.
Position of the Administrative Coordinator has been filled by Rebecca Gill (right) who joined the Center from September 1, 2009.
Becky’s duties will be very similar: managing the budget, interacting with the college and ORSP on budgetary issues, handling projects and
students assistantships, and providing the support necessary for further growth of the Institute. Prior to joining the Institute Becky spent 5
years as the Department Administrator in other departments in the Russ College of Engineering and Technology and administrative associate in VP
of Research office at Ohio University since 2001.
