Center for Advanced Research Computing Administrative Assistant III Julie
Harris will retire at the end of July after 25 years of service at UNM. “I
have served... 25 years and am ready to go on to a new phase in my life,”
Harris writes. In retirement she hopes to enjoy hobbies like watercolor
painting and cooking, and to spend time with her parents and her cat, Meesha.

Harris began her UNM career in the Cashier’s Department, joining CARC about
twelve and a half years ago. Since then, she has been a beloved and invaluable
member of the CARC team. Harris has enjoyed her time at UNM, commenting, “I
like UNM because you are generally around educated people and participate in
upcoming and interesting conversations.”

Harris’ retirement plans, which had previously included relocation to Green
Valley, Arizona, have been altered by the COVID-19 pandemic. She now intends
to remain in Albuquerque and take classes at UNM using her retiree benefits to
learn more about art, cooking, and finance.

CARC Business Manager Tracy Wenzl writes, “Julie was the first person I met
when I came to interview for my position at CARC, and she made such an
impression on me. Right away I knew I wanted to work with her. I am so
appreciative of her kindness, hard work, and genuine care she has for our team
and our mission. CARC will not be the same without her, but I and the rest of
the team at CARC wish her a warm and happy retirement!”

CARC will be celebrating Julie’s service with a virtual retirement party over
Zoom from 3:00-4:00 PM on Friday, July 31<sup>st</sup>, 2020. RSVPs or
questions can be directed to Tracy Wenzl at
