Respectfully submitted, Dolores Burdo May 1, 2014 Department of Psychology Bryn Mawr College 101 North Merion Avenue Bryn Mawr, PA 19010-2899 610 526-5010 610 526-7476 Fax BRYN MAWR Staff Association Bryn Mawr College Bryn Mawr, PA 19010 To Whom It May Concern, We would like to make this donation to Bryn Mawr College's Staff Association in appreciation of Ann Ogle in the Department of Psychology. We have worked with Ann for many years and, as we are about to leave the College this Spring, we wanted to recognize all that she has done to enrich and support our work. Ann is an outstanding professional who doesn't hesitate to go beyond the expected. She is quick to respond to questions or problems, brings a competent know- how to each job or task, and continually gave us a sense of confidence that whatever needed doing, if it involved her, would get done. As you know, in addition to all that she did in her regular job, Ann also was instrumental and hugely responsible for developing and maintaining the annual Staff Association end of the year sale, no small feat. She did this extra- curricular job in the same spirit as she attended to the ways we can recycle, minimize the use of paper, and simply pay attention to the world around us. The plants that greet the visitor in Betts-ycoed are another testament to such efforts. Ann is someone who cares about the students, faculty, Department and College. She brought us warmth, kindness and a generosity of spirit. And, in our case, she was the oil that made the machinery run. Though this is a small token of our respect and gratitude, we trust it will be put to good use. Sincerely, Madelaine Nathanson and Mary Eno
