Retirees look back on careers, look forward to varied pursuits
Some 131 UI employees entered the next stage of their lives during the 2007–08 academic year, which is to say they retired from the University. Some will stay busy with ongoing research, others will give time to worthy causes, and still others will find plenty to do around the house. The decision to retire isn't always an easy one; emotions are mixed on that final day on the job. But the promise of more time with family and the freedom to travel are rewarding prospects. Five retirees recently told fyi about their plans.
Education, research, rehabilitation efforts take flight at Macbride Raptor Project
Over the years, the Macbride Raptor Project has rehabilitated a variety of birds of prey: a rough-legged hawk that collided with power lines; a falcon that was tangled in barbed wire; a broad-winged hawk that suffered a gunshot wound; and dozens of owls, ospreys, vultures, and eagles that have been threatened by various forms of human activity. But on a recent day, Jodeane Cancilla arrives at the Macbride Nature Recreation Area with a mourning dove that has gotten tangled in a fence after high winds. “We try to help all wildlife,” explains Cancilla, project assistant with the Macbride Raptor Project. “Although the dove isn’t a bird of prey, they’re all related.” Photo feature: Work at the Raptor ProjectCatch a glimpse of the many facets of the work being done at the Macbride Raptor Project.
