Since 1989 Fraser has worked on the north side of Route 2. In her new position, she will be working on the other side, in athletics administration. She will be in charge of overseeing the budgets within the athletics department and for the Ephs’ 32 varsity teams.
“Judy brings with her a wealth of experience both at the college and in financial matters,” said Interim Athletics Director Lisa Melendy. “She has worked in the Vice President for Administration’s office dealing primarily with the many college insurance policies, worked in what is now called Human Resources, and has done numerous projects across campus as an independent contractor.”
“Judy has worked with almost every office on campus and has done the nuts and bolts budget and accounts payable work with PeopleSoft that this position also requires.”
