Thank you for everything that you have done for the program, it would not be what it is today without your care and efforts. It is very rare and unique to find a program that genuinely cares about its students as much as this one does, and that is in large part to your leadership. I hope you enjoy your retirement and come back to visit when you can!

Happy retirement! Thank you for your years of service to the PA profession as a whole. I appreciate your dedication in constantly renovating our Madison curriculum to stay up to date on both medical literature and social causes. I experienced this as a student and now get to continue to learn from those I’m a preceptor to. Whoever is next in line has big shoes to fill!

Hope you’re well,

Wishing you all the best in your retirement! Spending a summer in Wisconsin with you will be something I’ll never forget! I felt like a big shot spending time with you and experiencing how you led the PA program! I will always look up to you, your work ethic, and your kindness.

Enjoy Florida, your additional free time, and more campfires on the back porch! Most of all, I hope retirement brings you back to Ohio a few additional times each year!

Love you,

I still remember the neurology and urology lectures during the PA program way back in 2006. You were always supportive, amazing lecturer and had a great spirit and energy. It was a great 3 yrs! Thank you for working with us and accommodating me as I had my first child after the summer anatomy lesson ( he is graduating high school next yr ! ) Enjoy the next adventure and your retirement! Great memories and all the best! My fist job was at Mercy ( great place), that you brought in for the class:) This PA program became a very strong program with great graduates.

Congratulations on your retirement. Thank you for all the hard work and dedication you put into the PA program.  You have created an incredible program that I am proud to have been a part of. Thank you for everything! Good luck! Enjoy retirement.

Sonia S.

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!

Thank you for your years of service and for leading and building a strong PA program. As a former student I have so many great memories of learning neurology from you as well as your support at Distance Ed meetings. Serving as a preceptor has also made me appreciative of the incredible education the program provides - so much of that is a result of your leadership. I sincerely hope you enjoy your retirement!

 On behalf of Wisconsin AHEC, I want to wish you the very best on your retirement and extend much gratitude for your partnership and advocacy for Wisconsin AHEC. We very much valued your service on our Advisory Committee over the years and your leadership with the HRSA funding project to support rural recruitment and matriculation of aspiring PA students in our communities throughout Wisconsin and the WisPACT programs. Each year we welcome more and more PA students into our AHEC Scholars and CHIP Programs. They add so much value to our curriculum and shine as interprofessional leaders in our cohort. On a personal note, I am also grateful for your collaborative spirit and kindness when I joined the SMPH family and for your ongoing support of all our progress these last few years. Adventure is out there! Excited for you to go after it!

Take care,

Liz

Congratulations on your retirement… I was sorry to have to miss the reception (kids after school sports commitments!), and wanted to reach out to wish you the very best in the years ahead.  I enjoyed time spent together when our program was exploring grants for student recruitment/support, and when we had neighboring tables at the New Faculty Orientation event😊  Your leadership skills and life wisdom are well respected, and appreciated.

Cheers!
