After almost 40 years of dedicated service to CETE, Sharon Kelsey has retired. From her humble beginnings in an entry level position at The Ohio State University, she worked her way up to become CETE’s business office manager.

During her illustrious career, Sharon received the 2009 Distinguished Staff Award that recognized 12 Ohio State employees for their exceptional accomplishments, leadership, and service to the university community.

“Sharon devoted herself to her work — striving for excellence and always looking for efficient and creative ways to support our projects with extensive institutional knowledge and tremendous work ethic and productivity,” says CETE Associate Director Traci Lepicki. “Her passion for CETE’s mission and the staff working together to accomplish that mission were apparent every day through her contributions as a CETE leader, manager, colleague, and friend.”
