Gary Kilburg retirement celebration set for Monday, May 5
All university employees are invited to celebrate with us as we honor retiring Gary Kilburg with a reception on Monday, May 5, in the Villa Academic Complex’s Room 117. The event will run from 4 to 6 p.m.
Throughout Gary’s career, he has modeled professionalism, kindness, and the love of Christ to his colleagues and students. He has served the university family for 22 years, taking on leadership roles and forming foundational work in the area of mentoring for the College of Education. His teaching has regularly set the standard for young professors, modeling for each one of us what it means to be an effective educator. His students often remark on the care Gary’s teaching demonstrates.
Gary earned the Graduate Faculty Member of the Year award in 2006-2007. He has mentored teachers and administrators in both public and private schools. His door is always open and both students and faculty often find themselves slipping into his office for a bit of calm, thoughtful advice. He will be missed more than he can possibly know.
Please join us in celebrating Gary’s work with us and wishing him well in retirement.
