Sally! It has been an honour to work along side you and to have been trusted to pick up "...all the things that might explode" since you've been off on your new adventure.

Here's to a new job with fewer exploding emails — just what you deserve after offering so many years to this office.

Keep in touch!

Christina, Co-Director of Chaos

Congratulations and best wishes for the next stage of your adventure Sally. UVic was lucky to have you as long as it did and our working partnership was one of the highlights of my time there. Your energy, commitment, determination, compassion and focus were a driving force behind much of what we accomplished, and you made a big and positive difference to UVic and the people around you. Personally, I am deeply appreciative for your guidance, patience and support through the years. Your thoughtful, calm and compassionate presence created a great team environment, and your ability to keep your head on while everyone around was losing theirs, often kept the train on the rails.  All the best as you take your next steps on a new path Sally. I know that along the way, like always, you’ll make everything around you better.  Stay in touch!

They are so fortunate to have you as a leader. It has been such a privilege to work with you over the last decade - I value you so very much and will miss your wise counsel and your infectious laugh. Best wishes for the future and for every success that lies ahead of you!

It was a real pleasure to work with you over many of your UVic years, Sally. I appreciated your ability to see the big picture, various perspectives on an issue, and help navigate us through a wide variety of opportunities and challenges. Thank you for your insight, good humour, strategic thinking, and support! The Ministry is lucky to have someone who so truly values higher education and the students it serves. All the very best in your new role! Valerie

Sally, best of luck in your next adventure.

I was lucky to work with you in many departments on campus, VPR, USEC and the President's Office.  Hard to believe it has been 15 years! You will be missed.

I have never seen anyone chair a meeting like you can.  However, my favourite times have been the great laughs and friendships made along the way.

All the best, Jeanie

Dear Sally,
Congratulations on your new role! The Ministry is incredibly fortunate to have you join their team, but this is such a loss for UVic! I have greatly appreciated working with you and our conversations through the years. I have always admired and appreciated your wise, diplomatic, strategic and thoughtful approach to your work and your engagement with colleagues. You will be missed! I wish you all the very best in this next chapter of your career and hope that our paths will cross again soon. Warm regards, Tricia B.

Sally, I agree with Sarah Hood's "Nooooooo....but very happy for you."

It was a pleasure to work with you at UVic!

Hopefully, you will visit and attend campus events as much as possible as it will be lovely to cross paths again.

Sincerely,
Charlotte Bruce

Sally .... as you know, my standard response to the usual query "How are you?" is "Couldn't be better :)" (most recently upgraded to ULB in the spirit of continuous improvement!).  The reason I say "Couldn't be better" is because I feel that I'm incredibly fortunate in being surrounded by amazing colleagues who make my work life a positive and fulfilling one. You are one of those special people who has made my last few years at UVic a truly meaningful experience.  I've appreciated your spirit of goodwill, sense of humour, dedication to a larger purpose, professionalism, strategic thinking, and thoughtfulness - plus, a high degree of common sense which is so rare these days.  I'm glad that I had the pleasure and privilege of working with you on the strategic plan and getting to know you a bit. I enjoyed every minute of it thanks to your partnership.  Thank you for all that you have done for UVic over the years - we are better off because of your contributions and impact.  We will continue to build on it.  I look forward to staying in touch in the future and wish you the very best in the next chapter.

Keep smiling, Elango

Sally! I barely got to work with you, but absolutely loved and learned alot from your calm, thoughtful and strategic approach. Thank you for welcoming me to UVic with such a kind spirit. I would wish you tons of luck with the new gig - but you've got this, you don't need luck.

Sally,

I'm so grateful to have had the opportunity to work closely with you. I only wish our time together could have been longer!

Among other things, I'll miss your warmth, care, sense of humour, Aussie accent, and our shared appreciation of lavender.

You're an amazing woman and mentor whom I look up to. You're always creating opportunities to lift others up and encourage professional growth - like leaving on a secondment so that we're forced to take off the training wheels! I can't believe you're leaving UVic for good. Please don't forget about us and remember to visit!

Warmest wishes,
Leanna

It's been such a pleasure working with you, Sally. Here are some of my favourite inside jokes from our time together:
- Doing Dutch stuff
- Rocking a mad side-pony (see photo)
- Queen of Lavender
- Infiltrating the Hive Mind
- The Mezzanoooyyyyn
- Shaaaarks, and so much more
We did a lot of great work together, but we also had a lot of fun doing it, thanks for being an amazing boss and teammate.
All the best! James P

It was a pleasure to have worked with you Sally! My very best wishes to you as you embark on your new career. You will be missed at the university and especially here in the oval office. I will never forget the TimTam induction! Hugs, Mira.
