Oct. 28, 2011: Retirement party for Pat Leary

Friday, Oct. 28, 11 a.m.-1 p.m.
Gorsuch Commons, Room 106

Please join Facilities and Campus Services for Pat Leary's retirement party this Friday. Facilities will be having a potluck in Pat's honor. We'll have awards and cake around 1 p.m. You are welcome to join us at anytime during the party. Pat began working in the Landscaping Department at UAA in 1981 as a grounds worker and moved up to horticulture supervisor. She dedicated her career to keeping UAA an urban wilderness, taking care of our property, planting trees to develop the largest public collection of trees in the state. She also led the effort for UAA to earn recognition as a Tree Campus USA. Soon, she will complete a project 15 years in the making by creating an electronic version of the popular UAA Tree Tour. So what does Pat plan to do after 30 years at UAA? "Not work!" she says. Instead, she wants to devote time to her own garden, fishing, traveling and spending summers exploring Alaska.

Please stop by Commons 106 to share a story, thank Pat for her 30 years of service or just wish her well in her future adventures. She has had a profound impact on the Anchorage campus of UAA. If you are unable to be with us on Friday, come see her in ULB 109E, email her at anplm1@uaa.alaska.edu or give her a call at (907) 786-1114.
