Terry Simmons Retires From Computer Applications

Terry Simmons Retirement Party

Last week Friday, a retirement dinner was held for Terry Simmons in the Bistro. Fun was had by all, and she will be missed by the Computer Applications department (even though she’ll be seen from time to time). More so then us missing her, the students will miss her dedication and genuine teaching. She’s one of a kind, and has made a permanent mark on our department.

If you missed the dinner, it’s not too late to stop and Thank her! Thank you Terry!
