Rowland-Ketley says goodbye to UH family

After 20 years at the University of Houston, Sally Rowland-Ketley has retired as the director of Printing and Postal Services. Her last day was Feb. 9, when she said her farewells to friends and co-workers during a retirement celebration at the Elizabeth D. Rockwell Pavilion.

Rowland-Ketley joined the UH family in 1998, when she took a position as manager of Postal Services. A couple of years later, the director of Printing Services left, and she filled in as interim director until someone else could be hired. The new director did not work out, and she was asked to take over the department as director after requesting that printing and postal services be combined.

Some of her accomplishments over the past two decades include: she resisted outsourcing trends at the time and encouraged UH Postal Services to take on mail services for student residents; she encouraged internal training and development of workers by becoming involved in local printing and postal professional organizations; and she spearheaded the modernization of UH Printing Services by adopting digital printing technology.
