Goodbye and Good Luck

Over the past two days I've conducted interviews, answered phone calls, even gave an information session.  Business as usual.  But behind the scenes, well -- business is not as usual.  Today is my very last day at Harvey Mudd College.

I'm excited for the next chapter in my life, of course, but it's still heartrending leaving my Mudd family.  It's been a good five years.  Below are a few of my favorite memories.

DDR with Jamilla.  She's better.  Good thing I rock at Skeeball.

   

This is what happens when you leave the admission staff alone for a late-night data entry party.

Peter enjoys the admitted student chats so much.  And we enjoy Peter so much.

The tour guides!!!!  Triple heart this group of Mudders.

All set up and ready to go for our biggest event of the year, the Admitted Students Program.

Thyra's birthday, celebrated oh so classily.

This year's senior interviewers.  The Class of 2012 was "my" class -- the first I admitted at Mudd, and the only cohort I'll have seen through their entire four years at the school.  Hence they were (and are!) very special to me.

Just a typical committee.  Well, usually we have more food than this.  Must have been a light day.

Risa and Katie staying cool this summer.  Katie's last day was Friday -- now she's mentoring for Summer Institute.  It is a noble purpose but we miss her already.

The Class of 2016 Admit Packets prepared for mailing!

Admission Edition will shortly be moved into the brand-spanking-new admission website (due to be rolled out sometime in August).  My hope is that all the archived posts will move to the new location, so classics like the controversy over the age of our admission readers will be preserved for posterity.  At that point the entire admission staff intends to blog, so you have much joy to anticipate.

For the past two years, this blog has been a wonderful way for me to connect with prospective students and families.  I'll miss all of you.  Carry on and do great things.
