Dear ESE community, After much consideration I have decided to resign from my position at Purdue to focus on being a full time parent at home. It was not an easy decision but it is what we believe will be best for our family at this time. I will sincerely miss working with all of you and am grateful to have gotten to know each of you while working in this role. My last day here is expected to be Friday, March 12th. I am sorry for any inconvenience or challenge this may cause and will do my best to make this a smooth transition for all of you. Our office is working on hiring a new person for this position. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions or concerns about this. I'm happy to talk about them. Also please feel free to keep in touch with me at drcarmicheal@gmail.com<mailto:drcarmicheal@gmail.com> after I leave - I'd love to hear from you! All the best, Deirdre Deirdre Carmicheal Graduate Program Specialist - Ecological Sciences and Engineering<https://www.purdue.edu/gradschool/ese/index.html> Office of Interdisciplinary Graduate Programs<https://www.purdue.edu/gradschool/oigp/index.html> Purdue University Ernest C.
