Congratulations to Gayle Kennedy on her retirement from Humber College, effective after this Friday, June 30.
Gayle joined Humber in 2003 as Secretary of the Transportation Training Centre. In 2012 she moved into a similar role with the Sailing & Powerboating Centre and in 2016, Gayle joined the School of Applied Technology as Receptionist supporting CE and Work Placement Services.
Colleagues and students alike will miss Gayle’s pleasant and personable nature around the office, not to mention her rather contagious sense of humour. Gayle is looking forward to spending more time with family, lounging by the pool, and gardening this summer and kicking off the fall with a trip to the East Coast.
We wish Gayle an enjoyable future ahead in this next phase of her life!
