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!
