About Debbie Long

My name is Debbie Long. I am the Sr. Training Operations Administrator for Learning Solutions and have been employed by the university for over 33 years. I started my career at JHU in 1980 as a keypunch operator. I sat at a machine and typed in the information which punched little holes into a card. The cards were ran through a machine which sent the data into the mainframe computer. Throughout the years, I was a Data Control Clerk, the very first Help Desk employee for Administrative Computing, a Training Coordinator and now the Sr. Training Operations Administrator. Being part of this creative and very talented team is very rewarding. When I am not in work mode, I love spending time with my family and going to our property in West Virginia.
