The Department of Biological Sciences invites the campus community to celebrate Maria Martino’s career and send her off into retirement. The retirement reception is from 2 to 4 p.m. Tuesday, July 2 in 142 Rhatigan Student Center, Harvest Room. For the reception, you can create a short video message for Maria. Organizers will compose a short movie with all the videos as a lasting gift for Maria. And for fun, attendees can bring something unusual for Maria’s singleton earring — maybe an earring with a washer or an earring with a pretty feather. There will be an earring tree for your contribution. If you can’t attend, you can still contribute a video message above, or you can send a card in care of Raj Logan for the reception: Maria Martinoc/o Raj Logan526 Hubbard Hall CB261845 Fairmount StreetWichita KS 67260
