RETIREMENT ANNOUNCEMENT
For those of you that missed Debbie’s email yesterday…here is the bittersweet news. Congrats to you, Debbie…you will be missed!:
It is with excitement and sadness that I would like to announce that after a long period of contemplation, I have decided to retire effective July 1, 2016. I have truly enjoyed working in the Research Office and getting to know each and every one of you. It is time for me to head out on my next adventure – lots of travels, spending time with family – especially our granddaughter, Grace and I will probably drive my husband crazy by being home all the time Best wishes to everyone and I have let Cindy and Rich know that I am available to help with the transition. You are all wonderful people to work with, THANKS!

EPA NEWSLETTER PIECE FROM CINDY’S TRIP TO THE CORVALLIS WESTERN ECOLOGY DIVISION (WED)
Dr. Cynthia Sagers, Vice President for Research at OSU, and Dr. Craig Marcus (Head of OSU’s Dept. of Envi-ronmental and Molecular Toxicology), visited WED on Tuesday, February 16. The purpose of their visit was to discuss the new NHEERL trainee cooperative agreement which is meant to facilitate pre- and post-doctoral students’ involvement in EPA research. “Craig’s department was one of five nationwide to have won the award,” said WED Quality As-surance Manager Jim Mark-wiese, who is on OSU’s Envi-ronmental and Molecular Toxi-cology faculty. Dr. Sagers visited WED several times over the last decade while an ecologist at the Univer-sity of Arkansas. Much of that collaborative work was with WED/EEB and its gene flow research team. Sagers’ re-search of genetically modified canola was featured on NPR in 2010. Right: Jim Markwiese, Cynthia Sagers and Marcus Craig visit the WED greenhouses.
