The Daily Bruin

All are invited to Shary Wortman’s retirement celebration from 4 to 7 p.m. on Monday, April 28, at the Redmond Center located at Ridgeview High School in Redmond, Ore.

Shary has served the community of Central Oregon through teaching, administration, and most recently, through her work as a teacher educator at George Fox. She joined the MAT team in 2005 and worked to give us a strong foundation in the Redmond area. Her work is marked by warm, personal touches that allow each student and faculty member to be truly known.

While directing the MAT team in Redmond, Shary worked on internationalizing teacher education. She is part of a writing team and has several publications to her credit. She traveled with students to Vienna, Austria, to work in schools and at a refugee center.

Shary is all about teaching. She has been instrumental in teaching and supporting the 110-plus George Fox-trained teachers who are serving in Central Oregon schools. Her laughter, wisdom and kindness will be missed.

Please join us in celebrating the work of Shary and wishing her well in her retirement.

Please plan now for the institution-wide stationery order taken at the end of August. The collective order helps keep costs low – the higher the volume, the lower the cost. Consequently, it is most economical to overestimate needs and store a small surplus.

I will be accepting orders from now through Monday, Aug. 18, when orders are due.

For order instructions, go to the marketing communications website. Continue to purchase all non-departmental stationery (including “second-sheet letterhead”) through the university’s print services.

Please contact me if you have any questions.

Thank you,
Danette Newkirk (dnewkirk@georgefox.edu)
