Bill May

For three years he worked in the private sector, but that taste of university life he had gotten at MSU made him long to return to higher-ed. So he applied for a print supervisor position at UA and was hired in 1987.

Seven years later, he was promoted to manager, a title that was eventually changed to director. In the ensuing years May has transformed what was a 20-employee, $850,000 operation when he arrived, into a 30-employee, $4.4 million provider of high-quality four-color printing.
