Congratulations Retirees
Congratulations Retirees!
Traditionally, the college has recognized its retirees at its year-end gathering. However, because of the University's shutdown in spring 2020 due to COVID-19, that all-hands meeting did not occur as usual. So we celebrate them here, and thank them all for years of dedication to our students, to the college, and to WMU.
