Retirees

Deb Gerber

UNIVERSITY BUSINESS OFFICER

Gerber was part of the Idaho State experience for almost 20 years and has spent 11 of those years serving the College of Business. Gerber graduated from Idaho State with two degrees in accounting and marketing. Her plans for retirement are to tend to her husband and to travel. This upcoming year, she has planned a trip to Italy. “I will miss the people I worked with the most. The College of Business has been very kind to me,” she said.

Gail Hunt

ADMINISTRATIVE ASSISTANT

Hunt has been with the College of Business since 2014 and has become a staple in life at the College. Hunt says that when she retires, she plans to “do a little volunteer work and a little more of all the fun things in life.” Hunt also says that she will miss the students the most. “I will miss their enthusiasm as they make their way into new and exciting opportunities and I will miss seeing them grow in their abilities, professionalism, self-confidence and social consciousness. I am constantly amazed and deeply proud of the students we have in the College of Business.”

Michele O’Brien-Rose

ACCOUNTING PROFESSOR

When O’Brien-Rose retires this spring, she will have been here for seven years. Upon retiring, she plans on helping her husband with a new business he’d like to start and volunteer more for Junior Achievement as well as possibly substituting for K-12. Her piece of advice for students is “When you are out there job-hunting, search for something you’re passionate about doing. If you’re not loving what you do and looking forward to being there every day – consider whether it’s time to do something else. Life is too short to be working at something that does not bring you joy and fulfillment.”
