Farewell From Toni
Dear Students,
It has truly been a pleasure working with you and helping to ensure you have all that you need while pursuing a degree at WMU. I gave my best effort to assist where needed because I understand the challenges of being a student. Working with TRiO FESP accomplished a goal in my life that I never thought about pursuing but am happy that it happened. I talk about the program and YOU with so much pride. If you spent any time with me, you surely knew that I loved Georgia, and planned to return when the opportunity presented itself. I look forward to my new role as a Career Consultant at University of Georgia (and hot weather!). I truly wish you all the best!
Please be nice to the next person that replaces me! (That person will need time to reach my level of greatness, just kidding :))
Kindly,
Toni
