[LIBRARYDIR] Farewell (but not good-bye!)

[Jane Blume]

Congratulations, Kennedy. What a great opportunity. I have a friend who did research with the Gottmans when she was doing her doctorate at UW.

It has been great to work with you from Pierce College to Centralia. The Gottman Institute is lucky to have you join their team.

Kennedy,
In typical librarian fashion, I looked up The Gottman Institute and also have been told since that it is a highly respected company.  All the best to you in making a big career change.  They are lucky to get you!

Esteemed Colleagues:

After 20 years in Washington CTC’s, I have accepted a position with a private company.  My last day at Centralia College will be March 22.  My time at Pierce College and Centralia College have been life-changing and I will forever hold these places in my heart.

I AM STILL REELING – this evolved quite quickly and wasn’t something I was looking for. But sometimes life and the universe puts opportunities in your path for growth and adventure. This is a pathway I feel is a good move for me and I’m excited!

I will SORELY MISS my college, and my colleagues in LLC.  I am proud to have been a part of this group of people.  We get big things that matter done!  As excited as I am about this new direction, I feel sad about leaving community colleges and our work together.  I look forward to seeing where LLC and the consortium takes our students and faculty.

My new position is Technical Program Manager at The Gottman Institute<http://www.gottman.com/>.

I count you as friends!  Please feel free to drop me a note in the future at ktjames577 at gmail.com<mailto:ktjames577 at gmail.com> or find me on social media.

Sincerely,

Kennedy
