Pat’s Anniversary
By Jim Bennett

   Congratulations are in order for Pat May as this month marks her anniversary. Pat joined the university in 1976 as a secretary in the Occupational Therapy department. Due to a restructuring of their program, Pat became the RHIT department’s Recorder/Secretary in August of 1993. Occupational Therapy’s loss was our gain as Pat has proven to be a major asset to the program and it’s mission of serving the needs of students. Her wonderful personality, attitude, and attention to detail has made the faculty’s job a much easier one. Pat has ably assisted recruitment efforts by sending information to prospective students. Many current students have commented on how Pat has helped then with things such as course registration and completing applications for graduation and scholarships. We feel most fortunate to have Pat with us, and all department students and faculty congratulate her and wish her many more years of service to RHIT.
