Big breakfast at St. John's Campus!

- When all of Newfoundland and Labrador is abuzz about Netflix' 'Below' (shot in part at Memorial's Ocean Sciences Centre doncha know!) it was fun that Memorial's Employee & Retiree breakfast took place in the company of another, nicer, great leviathan at the Core Sciences Facility.

In this case, Altum was above rather than below. From start to finish, hundreds of Memorial staff from multitude departments and units enjoyed breakfast rather than being breakfast!

It was bright and beautiful, and good to connect while taking in the breakfast sandwiches, and conversation.

SIGNAL HILL CAMPUS - Sunday September 20 was a great day for the Terry Fox Run - and Signal Hill Campus showed up! Students, staff, and alumni gathered and made their way around the Lake. Like in any community, the members of our mighty team of 8 has been affected by the disease one way or another. We are proud and grateful that our number included two survivors and a grad student who is doing cancer research. We're in this together, and like the campaign says, we will "Finish It" together.

- Grad student residents of Signal Hill Campus enjoyed a sweet end of summer barbecue in August. Sunshine, food, friends, and faux mojitos (made extra special with mint grown at Memorial's community garden) were on the table. The good time had by all was muddled with an appropriate 'moving on' sentiment, as students finish their programs and the closing of Signal Hill Campus approaches.

BIG DAY AT SIGNAL HILL CAMPUS with the retirement of CEP Officer Kevin Howard !

Colleages, co-workers, friends, and family gathered in Conference Hall 2007A to celebrate his contribution to the University community. Dozens of people shared memories and sent well-wishes via custom note cards, made in the likeness of CEP Badge 024, Kevin's badge.

Among Kevin's gifts was a dwarf Alberta Spruce, decorated with gift cards for some of Kevin's favourite places.

Following special presentations from Protective Services and NAPE, Kevin took the mic and shared his appreciation of everyone he worked with through his career at Memorial, shouting out Signal Hil Campus teams - Genesis, Gardiner Centre, Red Oak, his 'other family' - Memorial University - Conference and Event Services, the grad student residents of Memorial, and to wife Kim who woke with him 5:30 am on the daily!

As all who know him know, Kevin's retirement doesn't mean Kevin is stopping. He's looking forward to a new gig, and has promised to keep us posted!

Thank you, congrats, and good luck Kevin! We will miss you your warm good morning greetings!
