For the second day in a row, my workday, on the 144th (ew,gross) day of 2017, ended at a retirement party of a dear friend and colleague. On 5/24/17, it was a colleague who was not just a friend, but also a mentor to me and MANY others. As I said in my comments, she mentored me and inspired me to be an advisor as she was. So, when I got to nursing, the benefits of her gifts and wise counsel flowed through me into other students. I am inspired to continue to be that connection between her ideals of student-first advising and continue to deliver her quality of service to the students at Penn. And maybe, in my career, by mentoring others, I can, as she did, have an influence wider than just my circle. #PayItForward.
