It was an unusual assembly that gathered at the President's house on Tuesday, where the EMU community was invited to wish President Shelton a happy retirement. Ron Miller, vice president of university relations, put the event together so those at Eastern could have a chance to relax and spend some time with Shelton before his retirement. The idea was to have a very casual friendly wrap-up to his tenure here, and it just seemed to work. Casual attire was encouraged, and hot dogs, chips, soda and popsicles were served for lunch. We'll probably have over 1,000.
People work hard here, and it's good to take the occasion to recognize and appreciate what they do.
