Friday, August 29th, 2014 is my last official day at Hendrix College.
How does one recap what has been, perhaps, the most personally and professionally rewarding stretch of a career, in a few short words?
Poorly, if this blog post is to be one’s guide.
I have had the distinct honor and privilege of serving an academic community that is supportive, yet commands excellence. I have been blessed with colleagues and coworkers who have made me a better person, a better employee, and a better leader. I have learned new talents, and have rediscovered talents long forgotten.
And, even after they got to really know me, they still accepted me – and kept me around. What more can one ask in a position?
I hope to be able to announce what comes next in a future post.
Parenthetically, my wife hopes that this will be the not-so-distant future.
So long, and thanks for all the fish.
Sorry to hear you are leaving Hendrix. I hope that doesn’t mean you are leaving Conway, but I know how these things go. I met you too late! Enjoyed our conversations and how you are eager to know each person. You are an Encourager.
