"So long and thanks for all the fish..."; An imminent retirement review.
“I travelled from Nova Scotia to Waterloo in the fall of 1984 for a Master of Math. My older sister said, ‘you won’t be back.’ I said, ‘of course, I will be!’
I have finally proved myself correct.
As I write this outline early in the week, I can’t commit to specifics (still need to finish slides);
but the talk will focus on what I take with me from my time at Waterloo (mostly harmless), and how people make a difference by providing opportunities.
So, my message may be: to take chances on those opportunities.
Or, it could be a restaurant review. We’ll see.”
Speaker Bio:
Andrea Chappell is the Director of Instructional Technologies and Media Services in IST. After four terms completing a MMath at Waterloo, and 33 years working here, she is retiring in her home province of Nova Scotia. She claims to have held 6 (or maybe 8) roles in IST. She is currently the 8th direct line of Chappell descendants living on the Chappell homestead, the 6th in the farmhouse, in Tidnish Bridge, NS.
Moderator Bio:
Sandra Laughlin has been the friendly face of PDAG and ITPD for many years. This is Sandra’s final PDAG as she also is retiring from the University of Waterloo and heading to PEI.
An editorial aside from the PDAG Committee – and I think I speak for all of campus: We will miss these two amazing individuals very much. IST will not be the same without you.
This session will be recorded – and may be deleted at Andrea’s request. Or because the Infinite Improbability Drive has activated.
