Jack Lockhart started his nearly 42-year career at UCI on February 1, 1968 in the Storehouse/Receiving Department as a delivery worker, followed by a clerk position in the Mailing Division, where he was later promoted to supervisor. In 1980 he became a technician in the Environmental Health & Safety Department and in 1988 he became an electronics technician for the Telecommunications Department. One of the first African American employees at UCI, Lockhart’s service jobs afforded him a unique perspective to see the campus change over decades.
