After a year-long break, Cindy Pickney has returned to the U of A. The Department of Computer Science and Computer Engineering is happy to welcome Pickney back as the department's remote procurement and travel manager.
Before her retirement in 2019, Pickney had been a U of A employee for 16 years. Since 2005, Pickney has made her mark with civil engineering, electrical engineering, and computer science and computer engineering. She received her bachelor's degree in accounting from the U of A in 2010.
