Ciolek Named Human Resources Director

Anne Ciolek of Allegany has been appointed director of Human Resources, university officials announced today.

Ciolek has served as interim director since April 16, during which time she was instrumental in supporting the Employee Benefits Advisory Committee’s evaluation of a new health benefits approach for St. Bonaventure University.

“Anne has demonstrated during this interim period that she not only has the talent and intellect necessary for this important role, but that her personal drive, creativity and commitment to serving the faculty and staff of St. Bonaventure University are remarkable,” said Brenda McGee Snow, senior vice president for Finance and Administration.

Ciolek will oversee all aspects of human resources, including recruitment; employee staff training, development and evaluation; payroll; and benefits administration.

Prior to her service as interim director, Ciolek served 11 years as payroll manager, and three years as payroll clerk. She earned an associate of arts degree from Jamestown Business College and is pursuing a certificate of Human Resources Management at Cornell University.


“I am excited and honored to serve the university in this capacity and would like to thank everyone who has been instrumental in making this opportunity possible,” Ciolek said.

In December, Ciolek was appointed secretary of the Board of the Health Benefits and Welfare Educational Trust of Western New York.

The university will conduct a regional search to fill a position in the payroll office.
