My last day at Midd will be June 30. I am moving to southern Vermont, and I am looking forward to a new adventure traveling and working <a href="http://www.inthecompanyofstone.com/">in the company of stone</a>.<br />
It has been a joy and a privilege to have worked with the talented community of students, staff and faculty at Midd and I have been given the gift of friendships from across campus and the world, and the opportunity to learn something new every day. Thank you. I will treasure my time at Midd, and I will miss you all.<br />
On July 1st, Dan Frostman will assume the position of Circulation Services Manager. Please be in touch with him about any circulation and borrowing questions or concerns &#8211; you will be in very good hands. </p>
