Bibie,
Congratulations on your retirement! You are a great example and inspiration to your students, fellow professors and UMKC alumns. It has been an honor and pleasure to work with you on the Women's Council, and particularly on the GAF Selection Committee. Thank you for your tireless commitment to UMKC!

Bibie,
You have been a great support to me, IAP and all things international on campus. I hope you'll stay involved with study abroad through the Sweden Program. Your regular presence on campus will be greatly missed! Congratulations and please keep in touch.

"Thank you Bibie for being one of the original and best "Friends of Honors." Your support of the program has allowed us to do so many wonderful things--from studying abroad to working with University Academy and Southwest Early College Campus. You were instrumental in founding the Honors Living/Learning Community and many students at UMKC have you to thank for helping to establish Lucerna: The Undergraduate Research Journal. Have fun in your continued life adventures and see you again in Sweden in 2010!"
Sincerely,
Gayle Levy
Bibie,
You have been greatly missed in the Undergraduate Programs Office of the School of Biological Sciences! May retirement bring you the opportunity to enjoy your flower gardens and pursue all of the activities you have placed on hold while working so hard to make UMKC the best it can be. The university is a better place because of you!
All the best,
Chris Jordan
Hi Bibie,
Your leadership as curriculum director in the BSB came at an appropriate time for me. I had become bored with several aspects of my career and your positive attitude and direction invigorated me to become active again in my teaching and service. Thank you for your friendship, your inspiration, your involvement! I wish you the best in your retirement!
