After 28 incredible years of dedication, love and service to the WSU Child Development Center, Amy Mease, administrative specialist, will be moving on to pursue new adventures. Amy’s last day at the CDC will be Friday, Oct. 30.

You can join in celebrating Amy and wishing her well as she begins this new chapter. The CDC will host a farewell reception from 3:30 to 5:30 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 27 at the CDC and hopes the community will take the opportunity to stop by, share a memory and let Amy know just how much she means to the CDC family.

For nearly three decades, Amy poured her heart and soul into the CDC, making a lasting impact on the children, families and staff who’ve had the privilege of knowing and working alongside her. The years she has given to this center represent more than time spent at a job. They represent countless memories, meaningful relationships, lives touched, families supported and a legacy that will continue after her.

The WSU Child Development Center has a preschool opening. To determine eligibility and to get more information, email Amy Mease at amy.mease@wichita.edu.
