Thank you from Giovanna Rico
March 23rd, 2021
Words cannot express the immense gratitude that I feel towards all of you. Thank you so much for your generous gifts and warm wishes for my retirement.
A special thank you to my wonderful library colleagues (past and present). I was overwhelmed by the outpouring of wishes and the incredible gifts! I will forever cherish the memories of my life at Dawson College.
I will miss entering this historic building and interacting with all of you, but I certainly will not miss getting up at 5 a.m.!
Take good care of yourselves,
Giovanna
From Student Services:
“Giovanna Rico retired March 5 after 39 years of exemplary service to the Dawson College Library. If you have ever borrowed a book from our library, there's a very good chance it was the subject of her loving attentions."

Dear Dawson Colleagues, I hope this email finds you all well. I’m writing today to let you know that our dear colleague, Judy De Four, will be retiring on March 19th with nearly five decades of exemplary service to Dawson College, most notably working in the AEC Office of the Continuing Education & Community Services…
Thank you from Rod Charters
February 23rd, 2021
I want to let all my Dawson friends, colleagues, and acquaintances, know how much I appreciate the well wishes and support I received on my recent retirement from Dawson College.
Although my retirement is now official, I struggle with mixed emotions. As anticipated, I miss many of you already. What I do not miss is the commute to and from work or the early mornings. What I do miss is the camaraderie I shared with you with the common pursuit of instructing and enlightening students.
Some of you I may never see again. Others, I hope I do when we are able to gather once again. For now, I am simply going to try and enjoy life in the current circumstances.
Your generous gifts of a MasterClass membership and a Steve's Music gift certificate will add to the enjoyment of my retirement.
Again, thank you.
Rod retired Feb. 5 after working at the College for 39 years in various roles, including the Help Desk, the Library and the Career Resource Centre. Rod is also a Dawson graduate.
