Grayling Laboratory Director to Retire after 35 Years with the State Police
May 3, 2021
Grayling Laboratory Director Connie Swander kicked off her career with the Michigan State Police (MSP) having already spent 18 years as a medical technologist in the private sector. More than three decades later, most of her original MSP colleagues hung up their white coats years ago. Half of the staff she now manages weren t born when she began working at the laboratory. I love this job. I ve worked with and for some great people, said Swander. That s the hardest thing about retiring and probably what kept me from doing it for so long, but this felt like the right time.
