Amy Orr, Business and Auxiliary Services

Briefly describe your role.

I am responsible for the agency’s real property leases as well as property and liability insurance, and I oversee management of the Copy Center and Sottile Theatre.  Additionally, I have budgetary responsibility for Parking Services and assist the director with the management of auxiliary contracts and other departments within the division.

What is the function of your department?

In addition to managing real property leases and insurance, our department is essentially responsible for running all of the “businesses” of the College including bookstore, food service, parking, copy center, mail services, Sottile Theatre, and Cougar Card.

How long have you been working at the College?

In July, I will celebrate my 17th year of employment anniversary.

What brought you to the College?

I came to the College as a student in 1991, and it has been home ever since.

What do you like most about your job?

I like that my job is challenging and that every day is different.  And I also enjoy the people who I work with.

What are some of your favorite memories from the College?

I have lots of memories from the College – one of my favorite personal memories is watching my son participate in ECDC’s Halloween parade as a scuba diver when he was two years old.  One of my favorite professional memories is receiving approval to build the St. Philip Garage after months of town and gown forums and BAR meetings.

What are your hobbies and interests?

I love to run and take sunrise walks on the beach, and this summer I have been having fun playing basketball and baseball with my son. I have also enjoyed serving as a member of the Staff Advisory Committee and look forward to representing our division for the next two years.

What is something that your colleagues would be surprised to learn about you?

I have a passion for numbers!
