They say “once a Colonel, always a Colonel,” and very few people prove that saying true quite like today’s birthday star! 🌟

Staff Council is excited to wish a very Happy Birthday to one of our own, Mary Adams! 🎂 You may know her as a dedicated council member and a talented Instructional Designer, but her EKU story is what truly makes her an Eternal Colonel.

A proud alumna, valued staff member, and half of an “Eternal Colonel” couple to top it off — she doesn’t just work at EKU, she truly bleeds maroon and white!

Mary, thank you for choosing EKU time and time again, and for dedicating your talents to making us better every day. Help us wish her a fantastic birthday in the comments! 🎉🥳
