UABC Monthly News/Updates June 26, 2012 UABC LEADERSHIP CHANGES Note from Laurie Solum: My last day with UABC will be Friday, June 29. What a wonderful experience I had leading an excellent team through a brand new process. The Business Center project has had some bumps but overall, what a great idea it has been! I first want to thank the OSU administration for allowing me to participate in this project. Their support and positive remarks have made everything worthwhile. Secondly, I want to thank all members of the UABC staff – you all ROCK! I will miss the conversations and interactions that we have shared. Finally, thank you to our customers and partners. We have all really come a long way over the last four years. I really appreciated your feedback which will always be welcome and will also assist UABC in getting better and better in what they do best. Take care – you will be in great hands with the new UABC Manager, Dee Wendler. Laurie Note from Dee Wendler: First and foremost, I want to thank Laurie and the UABC team for a wonderful welcome! I am very excited to be at OSU, and look forward to meeting each of you personally. To that end, I have been out and about, meeting with our customers, putting names with faces, and learning about the amazing work you all do. If I haven’t visited you yet, please don’t be shy about contacting me to arrange a meeting. My e‐mail is dee.wendler@oregonstate.edu and my direct line is 7‐4128.
