Post an ArtSci Shoutout
Nancy, Thank you for your unwavering support throughout these last 5 years and a bit at QSC. Research support is a different world that many don't quite understand and you've been a wonderful mentor. I appreciate the knowledge you've shared and your patience and guidance when at times I didn't understand the many changes in the research world. I couldn't have flourished in my role without you and I will always appreciate you and am looking forward to more years of great work together.

I know I speak for all of the department when I say that you make everything possible for all of us. Most often, quietly just keeping the machines running without our knowledge.

Thank you!
