Gene Mueller, Telecommunications Technician, has announced that he will be retiring from UW-Whitewater. His last day on campus is planned for Thursday, Feb. 24. 

Gene joined UW-Whitewater in 1995.  He is well known for working closely with customers to understand their telecommunications needs and to provide solutions that fit both needs and budgets.   During his time, Gene successfully managed the campus-wide Centrex installation, in addition to numerous specialized departmental phone systems.   He also worked closely with Facilities Planning & Management (FP&M) and later as a member of iCIT’s Cabling Team to manage and expand the telecommunications and data communications cabling infrastructure on campus.  His vast knowledge of campus infrastructure and many years of experience will be missed by both iCIT and the UW-Whitewater campus. 

An informal gathering is planned at Fat Jack’s in Whitewater at 5 p.m. on Wednesday for Gene.  Please join us in extending him best wishes upon his retirement!
