Linda,

Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and expertise and kindness with us. I felt very lucky to be your student. For me it was a privilege to work with the guru in fluency consistently throughout the coursework. I wish you well and I will take your kindness in my heart that you have always shown to us. Thank you, Linda.

Dear Linda,

Wishing you all the best on this new adventure!

It was wonderful getting to know you a little better when I had the pleasure of bunkering down in a corner of your office for awhile. It was an enjoyable time learning from you and it helped my agility navigating those wonderful piles of research to get to my desk!

Your passion and dedication to your profession was always evident, and your support of the speech and higher degree research students was second to none.

It's been a few years since I did a fluency subject, but one thing stuck in my mind as a particularly generous teaching moment. You asked what we should do if fluency scores were not improving as expected and several strategies were offered. The final one was to contact you, even after we graduated.

You will be missed.

Best wishes from

Alison

All best wishes Linda for a more relaxed lifestyle :)

I have enjoyed working with you over many years and admired your commitment to ensuring your students had a good experience.

The Speech team will have a very large hole to fill when you leave but you have left many happy memories.

Enjoy the time you have now for different adventures.

Dear Linda,

Enjoy your next journey! 🎉 I'm sure you'll find lots of fun activities to fill your time (that hopefully don't revolve around casual Uni work!).

It's been a pleasure to move from being your student to coworker. Thank you for your wisdom and passion for moulding the next generation of Speechies! 😄

Dear Linda,

Your knowledge and passion for the profession came shining through in your teaching. You knew who we were as learners and you taught with kindness. Thank you for the encouragement you provided before our tasks to settle any uncontrollable nerves. One of the things you said to me, I repeat to myself whenever I need to reach for some self-confidence. Thank you for the knowledge, kindness and lasting impact.

Dear Linda,

It seems just like yesterday that you were a PhD student with me at the University of Sydney, in that rundown old shed at Lidcombe. You will forever be a part of my early career memories during that time of my professional life. I do hope to hear from you in your retirement. Someday I will follow you there, and would love to find out how it works out for you.

Wishing you a very, very happy and fulfilling retirement, and hoping that it brings you much pride and happiness to reflect on and celebrate your career.

Very best,

Ruby

Dear Linda,

Thank you for your wisdom and guidance over many years. I would not be where I am today if you had not set me on the journey to be a researcher and sparked a passion for rural health and data analysis. You transformed my view of myself as a student and helped me to see what could be achieved through research. I am grateful that I also got to work alongside of you and enjoy your company as a colleague and friend. I wish you all the very best for your retirement.

Dear Linda,

Wishing you a well earned retirement! I feel blessed to be one of the many that have received your guidance and wisdom in the world of Speech Pathology. Your passion and knowledge ignited a strong interest in the assessment and intervention of stuttering for me as an undergraduate student at CSU and I have wonderful memories working together at CSU as colleagues. Thank you for all of the time, commitment and inspiration you have given.

Best wishes,

Lindsey D

Dear Linda,

Congratulations on your retirement.

You have always been a constant, warm, caring presence in the Speech Pathology team. Your humour and positivity made learning from you both as a student and later as an early career academic a delight. Even when you are busy, you always make it feel like you have all the time in the world while you are teaching; you make everyone feel valued.

Thank you for your expertise and skill as an educator. Wherever retirement takes you, the people you meet there will be lucky to have you.

Dear Linda, Wow! How quickly time flies. Even though it's more than 30 years, it feels like one minute we're at our graduation ball and the next you're retiring! You've achieved so much in your career and helped so many others along the way. It's been a great pleasure to work and play with you over the years. Enjoy retirement!

Congratulations Linda

I will never forget your kindness and wisdom as a student. I remember Kate D and I walking through the glorious Campus as second years. This was during COVID and we chose to come to res school. You recognised us immediately and I look back with such great fondness on my days as a student at CSU. They were the best days. I sing the praises of CSU to all and I must say I get a bit nervous each time I get a fluency student with Education Queensland. I think I need you on ‘speed dial’ but seriously Thankyou and you I will always remember CSU as a very special time in my life.I hope to come back and do some more study once I have a few years experience

Take Care

Annie 🥰
