BID FAREWELL
Celebrating Denise Albert’s retirement
After 26 years of faithful service to Messiah University, Denise Albert will be retiring at the end of June. Since joining Messiah in 1999 as part of the College Press Word Processing department, Denise has served in many important roles, including managing bulk mailings, supporting the mass email system, serving on the University’s safety committee, and providing exceptional customer service through Messiah Press. Please join us on Wednesday, June 24 from 3- 4:30 p.m. in the Bowmansdale Building for an informal open house to celebrate Denise and wish her well in retirement – stop in any time during that window to share your thanks and best wishes.
Lauri Norbeck retirement
The Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry wishes our natural sciences laboratory program manager, Lauri Norbeck, all the best in her upcoming retirement. Lauri has been with us for 7 years, which included an extremely challenging first and second year of adapting our laboratory program for COVID-19 social distancing! She took on every new task with dedication and a commitment to getting the job done right. Fortunately for us, she will continue as an adjunct in our department in the fall, but we trust she will find more time to spend with her family, in volunteer work, and in her hobbies during this new stage of life. Feel free to send her an email and congratulate her!
Farewell to Dominic Bornman

Dominic has served Grad Nursing as an administrative assistant since January, bringing valuable insight from his coaching background and making meaningful contributions to our team. We extend our congratulations to Dominic on his new role as special team’s coordinator and wide receivers coach at LaGrange College in Georgia. While we will miss his presence, we are excited for him to pursue this well-deserved opportunity. Dominic’s last day with the university is Thursday, June 11. Please join us in thanking him for his contributions and in wishing him continued success in this next chapter.
