Dear Friends,

Thank you for eight amazing years as your program director!

My time with you has been among the most professionally transformative, fulfilling, and productive of my career. I have learned and grown more in this role than ever could have been anticipated and am personally rewarded by your camaraderie and friendship.

It is with immense gratitude that I move on from this role to fulfill longtime plans to return to the East Coast and will settle in suburban Boston with my family next month. I am looking forward to time off this summer, to completing my dissertation this fall, and to moving on professionally thereafter.

Again, thank you for embracing me as your program director and for sending me off with a wonderful outpouring of support.

Sincerely,

Staci H. Zake
