Farewell
Dear Students,
I'll be retiring from Northeastern on July 31, 2020, after a wonderful 39-year career as Health Sciences Librarian. I've especially enjoyed working with you, and I'll miss you all. Thank you for contacting me for assistance with your research. I hope that I've helped you. Beginning August 1st, please send us your questions through the Ask a Librarian email/webform.
Fondly,
Sandy Dunphy
