Best wishes Renate Sachse!

Renate served the college library for 35 years! She's seen everything; extensive library renovations in 1983, advent of catalog automation in 1988, dedication of Martin Library of the Sciences in 1991, lobby flood and system migration in 2002, and all sorts of new staff, new duties, new products and services and THOUSANDS of students!

Renate was one of the first librarians to represent the library at SirsiDynix conferences, traveling for a dozen years to St. Louis, then Nashville, Colorado Springs and Detroit. Renate was an enthusiastic champion of many of our marketing efforts, such as Wake Up in the Library and Librarian House Calls, and a regular at so many Modern Language events.

We will truly miss Renate's good humor and genuine spirit, and we wish her all the best and safe & fun travels in retirement!



Alles Gute = Good Luck



Renate gets the first piece of cake, with a bright red rose.
