So long and farewell

Posted by on July 3, 2014

A week ago today, the ITS:Team said “So long and farewell” to one of our colleagues and friends, Melissa Haffeman.  Starting on June 30, Melissa will be off on a new adventure in Washington state, returning to her roots with a new position in K-12.  However, in typical ITS: fashion, we sent her off in style with a party and, of course, food!

Melissa thanked the group for their support over her years at the college and shared that the relationships she forged with those of us on the ITS:Team will be with her always.  I believe many of us feel the same about her.

Best wishes to you and your family, Melissa!  You will be greatly missed!

Thanks, Dave Armstrong, for helping take photos!

ITS:Always fun, never boring
