Farewells and New Beginnings
June 2017 saw us saying goodbye to many dear colleagues through the early retirement program which leaves us at once sad (because we miss all of you already!) and happy for your new phase of life!
2017-18 will be an adjustment year as we learn just how much some of those colleagues contributed (often quietly), and we try to figure out how the gifts of the newcomers will positively impact the work we do! We are changed because of the loss of old friends and the addition of energy and ideas from new colleagues! We welcome you, and we eagerly await the fruit that is born of new beginnings!
With this in mind, it seems as if the theme for this newsletter should be “New Beginnings!” so please take a moment to look through the different sections of the newsletter as we begin a new academic year! May it be a happy and productive one for all!
