What is your favorite memory of Rebecca?

Kathleen Cummings
As Robyn (Bushinski) and I were trying to "manage" our research project together you might say we had many thoughts and ideas. So So many that one Saturday they filled the board in the library. Rebecca you happen to wander through the library that particular morning and you became quite invested in our many words and ideas written ALL over. Yours was a kind suggestion that we were going to need to narrow our project and be clear in what we were researching. Your calm and kind words were helpful however you stopped and gave us suggestions at a time we never even had scheduled with you. THANK YOU for not running out or quietly backing out pretending never to have seen us:) Sincerely, Kate
Mary Graf
I have several great memories of meeting one on one with Rebecca to work on my project. I always felt supported and left these meetings feeling energized, positive and confident.
