I&#8217;ve been surrounded by kind, smart, thoughtful, supportive, and witty colleagues \u2014 both staff and faculty. I&#8217;ve been encouraged to grow and expand my knowledge and skills. Thank you to everyone I&#8217;ve had the pleasure of working with. Each of you has brought a little sunshine to my world. It&#8217;ll be strange not coming into work to see you!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most days, I don&#8217;t feel &#8216;old enough&#8217; to retire, but since I technically am, I&#8217;m going to take the leap and do some things that I haven&#8217;t been able to fit in around a regular work week \u2014 like actually use the teardrop camper I purchased three years ago. I also want to take some extended bucket-list trips to visit the Western U.S. national parks, Greece, Italy, and Scandinavia, and spend my winters somewhere warm.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In retirement, I plan to spend as much time as possible with my mom, who turns 93 in April. I also hope to do some volunteer work, and of course, I&#8217;ll keep singing for as long as I can. I encourage everyone to stop by the Kerrytown Concert House for the <a href=\"https:\/\/kerrytownconcerthouse.com\/wine-women-song\/\">Wine, Women &amp; Song<\/a> concerts. It&#8217;d be great to see some of you in the audience.<\/p>\n<style class=\"advgb-styles-renderer\">.kb-image6145_54d504-42.kb-image-is-ratio-size, .kb-image6145_54d504-42 .kb-image-is-ratio-size{max-width:326px;width:100%;}.wp-block-kadence-column > .kt-inside-inner-col > .kb-image6145_54d504-42.kb-image-is-ratio-size, .wp-block-kadence-column > .kt-inside-inner-col > .kb-image6145_54d504-42 .kb-image-is-ratio-size{align-self:unset;}.kb-image6145_54d504-42 figure{max-width:326px;}.kb-image6145_54d504-42 .image-is-svg, .kb-image6145_54d504-42 .image-is-svg img{width:100%;}.kb-image6145_54d504-42 .kb-image-has-overlay:after{opacity:0.3;}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.wp-block-kadence-image.kb-image6145_54d504-42:not(.kb-specificity-added):not(.kb-extra-specificity-added) > figure{margin-right:var(--global-kb-spacing-4xl, 8rem);}}<\/style>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We\u2019re happy to celebrate the faculty and staff in our Michigan Ross community who are retiring after many years of service and impactful work.
