Congratulations on your retirement.
I want to thank you for everything that you have done for me and for the department over the years. Whether it was orientation, the pit party, the holiday party, graduate applications, visit days, to name a few; you always had everything perfectly organized and running smooth. A large part of the department culture was thanks to your tireless efforts.
For us graduate students you have always been the person who had all the answers — what classes do I need to take? what forms do I need to fill out? And you always showed real compassion and concern for us no matter what troubles we had. You are amazing!
Thank you for everything.
