UTEP Athletics honors retiring secretary for 31 years of service

Dozens of tables decorated with track and field centerpieces filled the Foster Stevens Center on Thursday, July 26, for a retirement luncheon honoring Katie Jensen’s 31 years of working at UTEP.

Jensen, 98, began working with UTEP Athletics as the administrative secretary of track and field back in 1986 after retiring from State National Bank (Wells Fargo), where she also worked for over 30 years.

“It’s just been a wonderful time for me, I have truly enjoyed every minute here,” said Jensen.

At the luncheon celebrating her service, Jensen was awarded a plaque to honor her 31 years of service, as well as a custom-made football jersey.
