To all of you whom I had in classes, lead on field trips, advised, or just interacted with in the halls; I'd like to thank you for making the past 11 years at UMASS-BOSTON a special experience. You are the reason I do what I do and while leaving UMASS-BOSTON was a difficult decision, I'm headed to someplace where I feel I can have as big, if not bigger impact.
Once again that you and best of luck with in all that you do....
Best
Dr Allen Gontz
