Wrapping Up The Hard Part

With my decision to join Collegiate's faculty finalized, it has been time to start telling my Administrators and Colleagues here at Steward. This is the hardest part for me, I would rather just slink away than have to be upfront about it but it is helping in personal growth.

Telling my Department Head was the hardest part for me because I value her so much. I could tell that she was initially a little shocked and certainly not pleased but relaxed a bit after we talked about it. I need to tell the Dean of Academics today and then the hard part will be over and I can casually tell other people when it's convenient. Except, of course, there is Gardner....
