Thank You, Kelli!

My counseling colleague and blog partner, Kelli Turpin, is moving to North Carolina. Her last official day at City will be September 6, 2017. Kelli has worked in the counseling department at City for 17 years, and she has helped so many students. She is a dedicated counselor who has worked with active duty military at a local base and she has also guided veterans at City. She is someone I go to when I need to check the accuracy of information. In other words, she knows her stuff. But not only is she an outstanding counselor, she is a fantastic writer, editor, and blogger. If not for her willingness to give this blog idea a try, I probably wouldn't have launched it, so I give her credit for its existence. She has given of her own time to write articles for this blog, and she has an open invitation to post from out of state whenever she wants. That's how much I appreciate her writing and contributions to this blog. I hope we will continue to see her writing here.

We will miss her experience, dedication, and student advocacy. But most of all, we will miss her presence. It won't feel the same at City without her.
