Dr. Murray Milford<\/a>, Class of \u201955, work as a professor in the Department of Soil and Crop Sciences and as an adviser to the Corps of Cadets. Jobling recalled joining him at football games and participating in Aggie traditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\u201cWe loved going to Bonfire and Muster, they were such special traditions,\u201d she said. \u201cI still think of him as I walk past certain buildings on campus.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jobling secured her first job on campus in June 1982, just her freshman year began, as a secretary for the Biosystems Group in the College of Engineering. As she pursued a degree in anthropology, she worked in Evans Library and in the Department of Soil and Crop Sciences. After graduation, Jobling worked in the Department of Anthropology as a graduate assistant and on the department head\u2019s office staff until 1998.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jobling transitioned to working with faculty as an administrative assistant and coordinator in the College of Liberal Arts, where she stayed until 2022. When the School of Performance, Visualization and Fine Arts began in the fall of that year, Jobling joined as a senior administrative coordinator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI worked well with faculty because I grew up around faculty,\u201d she said. \u201cI would go to faculty events in the Soil and Crop Sciences Department with my dad, and I worked in their main office. I loved working with faculty.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\nBecky Jobling, center, with her daughter, Heather Nazario; and her father, Dr. Murray Milford; at an Aggie Ring Day ceremony in 2015.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nAggie Core Values<\/h2>\n\n\n\n Jobling said she strives to implement the Aggie Core Values in all aspects of her life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Respect: <\/strong>\u201cYou have to have respect for your university, your department and your colleagues,\u201d Jobling said. \u201cYou need respect for everybody and for others\u2019 opinions.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\nExcellence: <\/strong>\u201cYour work is done to the best of your ability to show excellence.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\nLeadership:<\/strong> \u201cYou try to be a leader in your office. You teach what you have learned and share that with others.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\nLoyalty:<\/strong> \u201cThere is loyalty to your university, your unit and your coworkers with respect.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\nIntegrity: <\/strong>\u201cThis is portrayed through your character. Integrity reminds me of my dad. He believed you should lead with honesty and moral principles.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\nSelfless Service: <\/strong>\u201cYou give everything you have, plus a little extra. If someone needs help, do your best to pitch in. It\u2019s not just about you \u2014 it\u2019s the unit and working as a team.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\nJobling said she has followed her father\u2019s lead by emphasizing that people should treat others as they would want to be treated. To exemplify Aggie Core Values, Jobling said do the best you can, follow the rules and love your neighbor as yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThese values should be second nature, and I think A&M does a good job of portraying that \u2014 which is where the Aggie Spirit comes in,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Looking Forward To Retirement<\/h2>\n\n\n\n With this chapter closing, Jobling said she is excited for what\u2019s next, including traveling and spending time with her family. In June, she and her husband are traveling to England and Scotland to work on genealogy projects and visit family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMy husband and I are going to keep active,\u201d she said. \u201cWe will try to find things to keep ourselves busy, and we can\u2019t wait to spend more time with our two grandbabies.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jobling was also recognized at the end-of-semester all-school meeting in the School of Performance, Visualization and Fine Arts. Misemer noted that Jobling was one of the first to arrive in the office and was always prepared to take on new tasks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt has been my privilege to spend the past two years working closely with Becky to set up faculty affairs in the School of Performance, Visualization and Fine Arts,\u201d Misemer said. \u201cHer extensive experience has been invaluable. Her collegiality and friendship are simply immeasurable.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jobling said the President’s Meritorious Service Award was a great way to close out her time at Texas A&M.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAfter a number of years, it\u2019s nice to be recognized and know people appreciate you,\u201d she said. \u201cThis was a nice way to go out \u2014 with a bang.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
