Academic/Administrative Department Secretary

Marilyn Miller has worked at Trent since 1986. She began in the University Secretariat and joined the Geography Department as Academic/Administrative Secretary in 1992. For over a decade, Ms. Miller has made sure the office runs smoothly, assisting the Chair, faculty, staff and students where and whenever necessary. Her duties include making sure work is completed according to the University schedule, assisting with the production of the departmental calendar and timetable as well as many other administrative tasks. Students are Ms.

Miller's first priority as she says, "if they weren't here, I wouldn't have a great job that I truly enjoy." She attempts to make Geography students' time at Trent as enjoyable and stress-free as possible by treating new Geographers with respect, consideration and courtesy. Recognizing that "things never stay the same at Trent", Ms. Miller has experienced three faculty retirements, the addition of two new faculty members and the hiring of a new Demonstrator/Technician. Ms. Miller sees the Department as fresh and interesting and truly believes that (as one of her many departmental T-shirts reads) "Geography Rocks!"
