Long before my time at OCC, I witnessed your care, passion, and dedicated service to students in our community. Thank you for all you've invested into the Guardian Scholars program. Countless lives have been impacted by your work. The seeds you have planted will continue to grow. Wishing you and your family the very best in the season ahead! -Sarah Nixon]]> 2022-01-18 22:28:34 UTC https://padlet.com/mrodgers43/1tx5lcrdt2hw3mhn/wish/1999110107 occguardianscholars1 https://padlet.com/mrodgers43/1tx5lcrdt2hw3mhn/wish/1999257171 Gabrielle - You truly have been a blessing for me as a Scholar and as a staff member for GS. I remember always coming into the office and you always welcoming me and others with open arms. I find a memory of you that has stuck with me is when I came to the office right after a meeting at the transfer center. I was crushed and was filled with so much doubt but you reassured me everything was going to be okay. I am glad you did because I am not sure where I would be today if not. Its those little things about you that make all the difference in students lives. The past year and a half it has been a pleasure working with you. I have learned so much valuable work experience that I will forever cherish. I am going to miss being able to reach out to you for almost everything work related. Thank you for being you. Take care of yourself and your beautiful family.

Gabrielle you are truly an amazing person. You have always treated others with the upmost respect and kindness and I am so happy that we work together.

You have taken the program further than I could imagine, and what you have done has benefitted the students so much. More then that, you have built widespread campus awareness and reminded all of us what students need and deserve. I know you will take that same skill and passion into your next role as a counselor. I will miss you, your innovative ideas, and wonderful grace. Steve

I know that the work that you will do behind new doors will also have the same impact on those who get to know you and work with you. And I was very happy to learn that you will still be with us and available to help us support students in a new capacity.  I hope for the very best things for you as you get to dedicate more time to those closest to you.  So, not good bye or farewell, just see you soon.

I've never met someone SO passionate and dedicated to their mission and it has been a constant reminder of the commitment, responsibility, and privilege we have in supporting the students at OCC. I've only glanced at some of the other goodbye messages here, but I can tell that you've made a huge impact on everyone around you - not just the students. At the very least, you can count me as one of them! I know GS will sorely miss someone who championed them so fiercely but it's great to know you'll still be at OCC continuing to make a difference as you have been!

I was wanting to find a really good picture to include in my note to best depict your time, your legacy, your impact that you have made with Guardian Scholars.  As I was flipping through the pictures, I struggled to pick just one because for many of those moments and memories you were most likely running around making sure the event went smoothly, the scholars were happy, and that everyone was having a good time.  You always say that our team is in the background holding everything together with duct tape and will power, but I think you are the duct tape, the glue, the heart that has held us together and kept us going and growing and helped lead us into being the amazing program that we are.  Personally, I know I am better advocate  and a better person for knowing you and working beside you these past 5 years. You have inspired me to never stop growing and pursuing my dreams and for that I am forever grateful. Congrats on this new journey and I am thankful that you will be one virtual zoom call away (and an office when we are back on campus).
