There is nothing scarier than looking down your bathroom sink drain, hoping your engagement ring has not been completely lost at Saint Mary’s University. Who do you call in this situation? The answer is Sandy Moger.

As the maintenance department’s secretary, Moger deals with calls from both students and staff regarding any maintenance issues. In the case of the student’s engagement ring, it ended up safely back on the owner’s finger.

A typical day for Moger involves answering phone calls and assigning placements for jobs. Then again, “there are no typical days here,” said Moger.

For the past 10 years, Moger has worked for SMU in various positions throughout campus. For the past five years, she has taken the role of “directing traffic” for maintenance. Before that, Moger worked in the business department and custodial crew.

Besides keeping things organized within the maintenance department, Moger creates the 8 x 8 black signs outside of classrooms, awards and name tags. When students call about an issue, Moger tries to get things out within the same day. During the school year, the Maintenance Department goes through busy seasons graduation, homecoming, and family weekend. Maintenance is available 24/7 on campus, said Moger. “We’re kind of like a city here.”
