HR News Kathleen Connelly Harmon Retires After 40+ years, our colleague and friend Kathleen Connelly Harmon has retired from Rutgers. Contributing towards the success of our Executive MBA program, the following have shared these kind words: “Kathleen’s attention to detail, her diligence and dedication, and her conscientiousness while working in EMBA, are now “industry standards.” Above all, no matter how trying the situation, or how grave the crisis – and at the EMBA weeks-in-residence we have seen them all, from 9/11 to snowstorms to floods – she has never been ruffled. Her cool and steady calm, and her “grace under pressure” has never wavered, no matter what. Quite simply, she has been the rock on which our EMBA program – The Powerhouse – has been built. I consider it a personal privilege to have had the opportunity of having worked with her over the last several decades at RBS. She is being missed already by Team EMBA and ALL of us...but I have told her that Rutgers EMBA is like Hotel California. “You can check out, but you can never leave,” and that we hope to be calling on her and seeing her in the years to come. - Farrokh Langdana For the past quarter of a century, Kathleen has been the administrative backbone of the Tax Program. Whenever students have had an administrative issue or problem, my immediate response has been as follows: please see/contact Kathleen. Whatever the issue/problem would then somehow magically disappear. But the truth was that these administrative matters via uttering the incantation “hocus pocus” or through the wave of magical wand would get resolved. Instead, it was through Kathleen’s tireless efforts that students’ demanding needs were met. On the one hand, I wish to thank Kathleen for making my job so much easier; on the other hand, I now have to do the impossible, namely, engage in the impossible task of finding Kathleen’s replacement. My closing message to Kathleen can be captured in the following words: THANK YOU for everything; you are truly wonderful; I, my current, students, and all the Tax Program graduates would be no where without you. - Jay Soled Thank you, Kathleen, for your dedication and service to Rutgers! We will miss you dearly! If you would like to contribute to a retirement gift for Kathleen, please visit here.
