MSU is where I came into my own as a scholar and researcher. Michigan was where we settled down and built a network of close friends and colleagues. My son was 2 when we moved here and my daughter was born a year later. He is today a junior at the other university in Michigan and she is a senior in high school. Wonderful years!&nbsp;Michigan State University (and the state of Michigan)&nbsp;have been home, intellectually, socially and personally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I know for sure that a part of me will always be a Spartan, will always be a Michigander.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is impossible to capture these past 18 years in a few words, so many wonderful memories created and so people, friends and colleagues, to thank, so I will not even try. I will just say, you know who you are, and know that I treasure all the wonderful times we had together. Thank you for being part of this journey. Know, also, that I will miss you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2026 but also remember that&nbsp;these days we are all a click or a phone call away. So keep in touch.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I started working at Michigan State University on the 15th of August, 1998.
