Love and respect Bill Hardman, Jr., immensely. Thankful he opened the STS door for me to flourish in Tourism! An effective and caring leader who paved the way for many of us in Tourism. His legacy lives on.
Proud to receive this meaningful message from a student I recently mentored at William Carey University in MS
Rita, Thank you so much for our conversation yesterday. I truly appreciate your attentiveness and the way you consistently tailor resources to my interests and needs. The networking guidance you shared, thoughtful preparation, and meaningful follow-up is incredibly valuable, and I plan to put those strategies into practice.
I also want to thank you for your advice yesterday about clarifying
my focus. I’ve spent a lot of time reflecting on it, and even
discussed it with my husband.
I am very grateful to have been connected with you as my mentor this term. Your insight, generosity, and example have made a meaningful impact, and I truly admire the work you do. Thank you again for your support and for offering to continue being a resource in the future. I would be grateful to stay connected.
With appreciation, Samantha, Assistant Professor of Pharmacy Practice
This is what keeps me keeping on!
