Although there were times when the faculty felt the Class of 2023 could have finished out their training on their own, we were so proud to guide them to the finish line and be there to celebrate the achievements of such an incredible class to close out the Program.
As Program Director I want to give a few shout outs to those who were instrumental over the past year. To:
Cassie Buck, the Interim (and final) Assistant Director. Thank you for helping steer the ship with me until the end, for being there as a colleague and friend to laugh with, roll our eyes together and shed a few tears (well me at least).
Judy Jackson. Instructor and Clinical Supervisor. Thank you for your love of the Brandeis GC program, never-ending commitment to our students having taken literally half this class for prenatal rotations and for always making me laugh.
Roberta Brock, our Program Coordinator. Thank you for your constant support and encouragement, willingness to do anything to help out and for decorating my desk (with Victoria Morris ‘22) to celebrate getting to the finish line.
Judith Tsipis, the Program’s Founding Director. Thank you for taking a chance on me 15 years ago and trusting me with your “crazy dream”, being such a dear friend since we began our work together and your kindness and understanding during the past few years.
Beth Sheidley. From graduate in the inaugural class to colleague to lifelong friend. Thank you for your ongoing support of the Program and our students, for never being more than a text or phone call away when I needed to laugh, kvetch or cry and for being an incredible friend both professionally and personally.
I could not have done it without each and every one of you!
Gretchen
