To my colleague and friend, Leslie, after decades of extraordinary service you leave behind far more than a career - you leave a legacy woven into the lives of countless students and colleagues who are better because of you. Your kindness, wisdom and unwavering dedication made this college - and the Henry Barnard School - a better place every single day. Retirement is well deserved, but your impact will never retire. @fsehd_ric@ricalumni@ricseniors@fsehd_grad_programs_ric@ric
🌳We’re excited to share that RIC is now officially a Tree Campus, designated by the Arbor Day Foundation!
