Good Bye and Good Luck!

Now comes my least favorite part of my job, saying good bye.  I have two amazing students graduating this semester and who will be starting the next exciting chapters in their lives.  It was great getting to  know the both of you and I wish you all the best.  Please stay in touch!

Lucy Perkins started for me 4 years ago as a freshman.  Allan from Systems said he knew of someone looking for a job and was wondering if I had any openings.  I did not normally hire that way, but I figured if Allan recommended her, I would give her a shot.  I met her for the first time in the summer and I remember that she was polite and quiet.  I remember when she first started that she would stand behind the desk, probably because she was used to her job at CVS.  In the last 4 years it has been a pleasure getting to know Lucy and being a part of her college experience.  I will remember our talks and getting to know her.  I will especially remember the thoughtful cupcakes she made me for my first day of graduate school.  It made that scarier day nicer and sweeter.  Good luck with your future wedding and everything else your life will bring you.

Mandip Kaur started for me part way through her college career.  I was approached by Robby and Patterson of the Building Operations Desk.  They said a student who worked at the cafe was inquiring about a job at the Info Desk.  They highly recommended her and said that she was an extremely hard worker.  Better yet she liked to work Sundays!  So I met her up with her briefly and decided with her outgoing personality that she would be a great addition to the Info Desk team.  That first semester she worked Fridays and Sundays.  We would spend Fridays training and getting to know each other.  We would also discuss what staff members to talk to and what staff members to avoid.  It was great getting to know Mandip and being part of her college experience as well.  I don't think I will ever have another student who is so willing to work weekends ever again!!  Good luck with your nursing career and the life ahead of you!
