Enjoy your retirement, Teri Schrimpf! 

After 22 years of dedicated service, Teri Schrimpf, business intelligence analyst in the Office of Institutional Research, is embarking on a well-deserved retirement. Those of us who have worked directly with Teri – and there are many – know that she is a consummate professional, a hard-working, brilliant, meticulous member of our WMU team with an unwavering commitment to excellence. Teri’s keen analytical skills have certainly helped advance the University’s mission throughout her tenure. She’s also just a heck of a great person, always friendly and radiating positivity.

Teri is also very humble, which is why she is declining a retirement reception, but please feel free to send her your notes of congratulations and well wishes before her last day on Friday, Aug. 4.

Last day for students to withdraw from SUM II classes is July 24
