OHIO community invited to retirement reception for Lila Thacker

After nearly three decades of service to 91探花, especially prospective Bobcats and their families, Lila Thacker will retire from Undergraduate 91探花s on May 31, 2024.

Thacker began her OHIO career in the Department of Lifelong Learning in 1996 and transitioned the next year to Undergraduate 91探花s. Her dedication to OHIO has been demonstrated in countless ways, including ensuring that families who request accommodations can engage fully while on campus visits.

Thacker鈥檚 behind-the-scenes work in event logistics has been an example to her colleagues and exemplified her commitment to making visits to the Athens campus accessible to all. 

As Thacker embarks on this new chapter in her life, she looks forward to spending more time with her granddaughter and connecting with friends and family through travel. Thacker鈥檚 passion for contributing to her community will also continue as she brings her mini horses to interact with and entertain residents of a nearby nursing home.

The University community is invited to join Undergraduate 91探花s in celebrating Thacker鈥檚 accomplishments and wishing her well in retirement on Friday, May 31, from 2-4 p.m. in the Baker Center 1804 Lounge.
