2020 Celebration of Service Comments

Here’s a big, fond farewell for Lindsay Yungbluth.  Lindsay tells us that she “is relocating to North Carolina, where she looks forward to being closer to her brother and to the seaside and ocean (that “big, blue, wet thing“).   She will be missed more than we can say!  Good luck on all your future adventures, Lindsay!

Please help me wish Renita Richmond, our long time LIA in Health Sciences, a fond farewell as she heads off into retirement. Renita’s retirement starts today, so we won’t get to have a formal send off. Renita has been an absolute gem to work with and has been the rock holding tech services at HSL together for many years. We are very happy for her but very very sad for us.
Renita, we will miss you so much!
