Bittersweet …

This is a bittersweet post of goodbyes and hellos. First the goodbyes ... Richard Bach reminds me "Don't be dismayed at goodbyes. A farewell is necessary before you can meet again. And meeting again, after moments or lifetime, is certain for those who are friends." And still it is hard to say goodbye. Bloggers Fariya, Liesl, Lucy and Mary are all off to new adventures. You will be missed. Thank you for all your hard work, passion, creativity and energy. And Liz, our beloved summer intern has but a couple posts left before she too spreads her wings and flies away. Thanks for spending your summer with us in Student Life. Barrett, our interim Upbeat editor has also left and now plays over in the land of Arts and Science.  We were so fortunate to have Barrett - he's won important writing awards and stuff. And now the hellos ... After a summer away, Cynthia will return to us with a promotion to senior blogger. And we welcome four new bloggers: Dara, Danielle, Lori and Shannon! Look for their posts beginning the week of October 4th. And finally, Chris (original editor and founder of UpbeaT) returns to Student Life after a year long secondment to Medicine.  Welcome back Chris - we missed you. And so with the help of the Beatles, join me in saying Hello Goodbye to the UpbeaT bloggers and editors! Cheryl, interim logistics manager and holder of the fort
