No More Pat
Throughout the last couple weeks, the Press has been interviewing new people to take Pat's position. That is right, Pat Conner is retiring from director of the press. I am just glad that I was able to work with him as an intern this last semester. He is a great man and has the best laugh I've ever heard! He was always adamant about checking on each part of the press and its interns. It was always nice to hear a 'thank you' too, even though we're all just doing our jobs. I'm not sure which direction the Press will be going with a new director, but I think Pat did a great job making the Press a prestigious publishing company for the state of WV. He was always fun and upbeat to work with and new how to put a smile on a person's face. So, thanks Pat for everything and I wish you all the best!

Three cheers for Dr. Conner! He's certainly been a fabulous teacher of PWE interns during his time at the Press -- it's great that you realize how lucky you are to have gotten to work with him!
Hip Hip Hooraaaay!!! How much do I love that he is dancing in the office for us right now!?!?! Yeah, I'm going to miss Pat. The Press will be quite a different (if not just quiet) place without him :-(
Aww, what a nice post, Emily! I agree--we have been so fortunate to work for a man like Dr. Conner. He is hilarious, hard-working, and respectful--everything you could want in your first "real" boss. I am definitely going to miss his stories, and him introducing me as "the girl who sits outside of Colson Hall like a lion statue guarding the New York City Library" to people. Best of luck, Pat!
