The end of the semester is fast approaching. Before you know it most of us will be leaving the area for the summer. The Library will be a bit more calm and subdued with most students away. Before then I want to take the time to thank all of you. I want to thank you Dan, D.J., Jena, Juan, Mandi, and Ryan for another great semester. I really keep getting lucky by having a great group of students who make my job extremely easy and enjoyable. I am also glad to be part of your college experience.
The bittersweet thing about having students for employees is you do get attached and eventually they graduate and move on to much better things. When I first got hired to work as Information Desk Supervisor I actually had a few regular staff members to help me. Then my boss decided that we could hire students to fill the hours at the Information Desk. One of the two people that I first interviewed, hired and trained was Mandi. I still remember interviewing her. I don't know which one of us was more nervous. And she has stayed and worked for me for that last 4 years. It has been great being part of her life for the last 4 years. Good luck Mandi in everything that you do, I wish you all the success in the world!
I am also sad that Jena will be taking a year off from UMass Amherst but still attending school. She will be returning for her Senior year and I hope to have her back. It has been great getting to know you.
So thank you all for another great semester! Have a great summer and beyond!! Thanks for letting me be part of your college experience. I will miss you all!!
