A Note from Your Retiring President

May 4, 2009

Thank you all for your enthusiastic participation in AEGS this past year. You did indeed make my job amazingly easy to perform. I believe we accomplished some important professional goals and learned about our chosen career paths beyond our day-to-day academic lessons. Those are the kinds of accomplishments that AEGS intends to facilitate.

Additionally, and just as importantly, the community we have formed has been a blessing to us all. The camaraderie, support, encouragement, and insight that each person offered became the glue that held us tightly and happily together. I’ve never belonged to an organization that operated as smoothly as AEGS and without a trace of rancor. Personally, I will cherish the memories of these last two years, and all of you.

AEGS will move on into the 2009-2010 academic year, and I am confident that it will flourish with the second year students as leaders and the new talent coming in with the first year students. I’m sorry I won’t be closer, to watch the evolution, but I will be keeping tabs on the website. Thank you, all, again. God speed. Karen Henderson
