All the very best for your retirement Lisa. Thank you for your help and support with our PGR adventures in NBE. May the rate of initialisms and acronyms decline exponentially for you from this point onwards!

Dear Lisa

You will be sorely missed not least for your biting humour and bottomless knowledge about how things work around here. I wish you happiness and health in your retirement.

Lisa,

I have just seen that you are retiring! I suspect telling you you're not atually allowed to leave won't make much difference, so all I can do is leave what I hope is a nice message. Our paths have crossed several times, as you know, firstly when I was an undergraduate on the  English Studies BA from 1997 - 2000, where your lectures on Shakespeare stuck in my mind much longer than the texts they were based on. We then met again in 2014 when you interviewed me as part of the PhD recrutiment panel, nearly 15 years later, and I will be forever grateful for the opportunities that that acceptance has made in my life since! Now working at Hallam, your input into the doctoral supervision training delivered with the same wit and humour I recall from those Shakespeare lectures. You will be very much missed, and I am forever grateful for the impact that your teaching has had (and continues to have) on my life.

All the very best,

Chris Bailey

Lisa, it's been a blast! I first met you at RDC a long time ago. It was my first formal committee role, and I was pleasantly surprised at how good humoured it was. Your wisecracks just added to that! Your brilliant and quirky sense of humour is a real asset, and has certainly entertained me and colleagues. Long may it continue! I relished listening to your anecdotes during the supervisor training sessions, some of which were met with audible gasps and lots of laughter! You will be missed and can't be replaced. SHU and RDC won't be the same without you. Keep in touch. With love and best wishes, Gillian x

From our first meeting about Supervisor Development in Cutting Edge when you sent me a photo of who to look for (pointing out that you were the one next to the cardboard cut-out of Elizabeth I) it's been such a joy working with you. Your emails and anecdotes are legendary and I hope you thoroughly enjoy your gardening and various adventures.

Dear Lisa

Though we haven't worked with each other for long you have always put a smile on my face in online meetings particularly when you tried out the ice cave background on MS Teams. I hope the trauma of the troublesome CK22 online session chairing fades and that you do one day write a play of all your HE experiences (I would buy a ticket). Wishing you all the very best for your retirement and many more adventures. Beci (Doc School) xx

Wishing you a very happy retirement Lisa.  It's been a true pleasure to have worked with you - your humour, friendliness and common sense have been very much appreciated.  I always looked forward to receiving emails from you in your unique style and your stories during training sessions are always entertaining.  Hopefully it won't be too long before we cross paths again.  With best wishes - Liz Brearley

Congratulations on your retirement - it's been a pleasure working with you and Chris! So sorry to lose you both - Hallam won't be the same without you - but have a wonderful time in retirement and I do hope we see you both at some point again in the future!

It’s been a real pleasure working with you this past decade, first in doctoral and then with your impact case study.  You always brought an invigorating wisdom, perspective and humour to every situation.  I wish you all the best for happy retirement, with lots of new adventures and plenty of time to dedicate to your passions. Keith Fildes

Lisa, I can honestly say it has been a true pleasure to work with you. I will miss your wisdom, your wit and your wonderful easy company. I will never forget our trip to Zagreb, the rainstorm worthy of a scene in a film, the gate-crashing of an international tour group's birthday party (clap, clap, clap) and, of course, the mistletoe brandy where I thought you were going to take your stage exit. This had better not be the end of working with you! I am not ready for that and I hope to enjoy lots more time with you working on nice things like supervisor training in between your retirement adventures. All the best, Nicola xx

Wishing you all the best for a wonderful, exciting and fun filled retirement Lisa.  You deserve it! Life at SHU will certainly be less entertaining without your humour to brighten up dull days. You will be missed!

Although we haven’t known eachother long you’ve had a wonderful impact on my PhD journey so far and I truly admire you as a person and academic. Wishing you all the very best and a happy retirement!

Dear Lisa - I don't think you can possibly know how much influence you've had on my academic life: it's been enormous! I first encountered you in an undergraduate lecture on Evelina and was blown away by the depth of your knowledge and the clarity (and speed!) with which you communicated complex ideas. During my postgraduate studies, I've especially appreciated your insight, humour and indefatigable championing of students. Things definitely won't be the same without you. I hope you have a wonderful retirement and enjoy lots of gardening and crime fiction! --- Jo Dobson

What a joy to meet you and witness your tireless work to encourage women and others to reach their deserved potential - and always with a twinkle in the eye and steely determination amongst the humour. You’ve made a big difference to academic life here at SHU. I hope you cause havoc and humour in your next phase of life - enjoy, Helen Richardsonx

# data[].attributes.body
Our paths have not crossed that many times, but whenever they did, I always came away being grateful that you had been there - making things human, funny, supportive and willing to share your vast experience. So, thank you very much for making a difference Lisa and wishing you all the best, Mel (Levick-Parkin).
