I am grateful for the 15 years I spent at SJSU leading up to my retirement. This is a special place, populated by faculty, staff, administrators, and students committed to the mission of the University. The students I've taught and the faculty with whom I worked will always hold a special place in my professional heart. I admire and respect the faculty many of whom could have easily chosen to work at major research institutions but instead understood that they would have a far greater impact on the lives of the students at SJSU than if they had worked anywhere else. I'm also grateful to my colleagues in the Dept. of Communicative Disorders and Sciences for their dedication and support of our students and their dedication to improving the lives of individuals and their families dealing with communication disorders.
Looking back over my time at SJSU there are many highlights along the way. Most significant for me were the two years I spent as Chair of the Academic Senate. I have the distinction of having served under three Presidents (Mo Qayoumi, Susan Martin, and Maray Papazian) during my two year term; a record unlikely to ever be broken. I thank each of them for their commitment to shared governance and thank my Academic Senate colleagues for their passion and willingness to serve.
