Hertz, Mitchell Retiring
This year Linda Mitchell, a business administration professor and Barry Hertz, an early childhood education professor, will be retiring.
Both of these professors spent quite some time here, however Hertz said, "It went by in a flash."
Each professor has exciting plans for once they leave Lyndon.
Mitchell said, "I have lots of friends around various parts of the US, so I plan to visit Vancouver, Seattle, L.A., San Francisco, Atlanta and Chicago, and then I'll reciprocate. They'll come and stay with me and the summers are great here in Vermont. They're absolutely gorgeous."
Hertz said that he and his wife were, "hoping to take our grandkids to Europe, and have a trip to India."
Hertz also said, "Some of the advice that I have gotten is to not commit to anything for a year, but I think I'll probably get more involved with the community. I have always enjoyed community service and I have been asked back on the Burke school board so I'm going to do that. "
Both professors consider commencement as a fond memory.
Mitchell said one of her fondest memories has been, "Seeing students I've worked with graduate: It is really wonderful to see someone in a cap and gown...Particularly if you've worked with a student for awhile, you see what they do, and they earn their degree."
Hertz said, "The thing, I think, that stands out more than anything is commencement every year, and seeing our students graduate."
Hertz stated what he would miss most about Lyndon was, "The students without a doubt." He said, "They're refreshing, they appreciate the small classes...and I just really enjoy teaching classes."
Both Hertz and Mitchell will be leaving Lyndon at the end of this semester, to start a new chapter in their lives; traveling will be a large component for both of them. Mitchell was at the school for 20 years and Hertz for 32.
After 32 years Hertz said, "I will dearly miss the students, but it's time for a change."
