Ginny, It will be unfathomable to imagine the PA Program without you...it is literally all I have known since I started Thanksgiving week WAY back in 2008. I knew it would eventually come, but... There are so many memories along the way that I cannot possibly enumerate them all here. Some of the highlights: PA Program as a Bachelors Degree with 36 students! Accreditation 2009--hearing you blast the Indigo Girls and singing at the top of your lungs from your office (yes, we did hear you!), yelling down the hall "WHAT'S GOIN' ON!" (I still hear this one in my sleep!). In the early years, when planning graduation, you would remind me of the cautionary tale, "The Sub Sandwich and Thorns with Roses." We've had many, many laughs and some tears...but the memory that sticks with me the most is how every day you made me WANT to come to work--made me grateful to be a part of something. You made this program a family, one that I and many others chose to be in (or coming running back to!). Even though I am in complete denial and will expect to see you tomorrow in your office...from the bottom of my heart, CONGRATULATIONS on your UW-Madison PA Program LEGACY! Cheers to you on your retirement!! This not goodbye but until we meet again where I look forward to hear about your new adventures! With much love and enormous gratitude, Donna Egelski

Dear Ginny,

You have been such an innovative fearless leader and wise change-agent who has made UWSMP a better place and the MPAS program one of the most notable and highly respected in the country! I am forever grateful for all of your talent, tenacity, and time. Your exemplary contributions to education and student programs have been laudable. The songs that keep playing in my head as I think of you are Tina Turner’s Simply the Best and To Sir With Love (but it plays in my head to you as To Her With Love). While I will miss having you at the helm of the MPAS program and working with you closely more than you may ever know, I am so happy for this well-deserved life transition you are embarking on. May your journey ahead be rich with all the wonders that this world has to give. Thank you, Ginny, for everything and more!

Wishing you the best!

Dear Ginny,

Congratulations on your retirement! I couldn’t make it in for you celebration and wanted to wish you well regardless. You have so much to be proud of and have been so easy to work with. I LOVE THESE BUCKY BADGER PICTURES!

Take good care.
