Wave of Gratitude for Amy Easton

A Wave of Gratitude to Amy Easton of The Biology Department for her Inclusive Excellence Respect, Student Engagement and Community Engagement

This week sees the end of an era; our beloved biology technician Amy Easton will be retiring after supporting countless STEM classes, faculty, and students. With her transition into a lot more fun hours and a lot fewer bespoke disasters to fix, it is a great time for us to think back on all the times that her calm, insightful leadership has made the difference.

Amy signs her emails with ‘Yours in Science’, and she has truly lived science throughout her time at Shoreline. You will not find a more caring advocate for students or a better organized and prepared professional. For all of us, putting students in positions to ask their own meaningful scientific questions and seeing themselves in the jobs they will have someday starts with years of clear-visioned logistics and inquiry.

I’m going to keep this short, because Amy has always stayed true to the work and recoils from the spotlights she deserves. If you come to the grand opening of Cedar (and you should! this Thursday 4-6pm!), you will walk into teaching and teamwork spaces that owe a huge debt of gratitude to Amy Easton and everything that she has done for all of us. Congratulations, Amy, and thank you from the inferior aspects of our left ventricles. ~Submitted Anonymously
