Since 1989, Professor Daniel also served as Director of ILR’s Off-Campus Credit Programs. In that role, he assisted many students in securing credit internships in the U.S. and around the world; he was the driving force behind the school’s program at University College Dublin, a semester abroad program of growing interest to ILR students.

He is remembered for his love of teaching, his wonderful sense of humor, his quiet acts of generosity, and his witty “one liners.” Professor Daniel will be greatly missed by the ILR community.

He has been College Client Representative and/or Project Manager on more than a half-dozen capital projects, including the Statler Hotel & Conference Center and the Hotel School, and the various Phase I, II and the currently in progress Phase III projects at ILR.

During Allan’s “Space Czar” days in Day Hall, he was charged by the Provost to organize, budget and implement a plan to relocate the 11 different academic and administrative programs & departments that resided in Sage Hall before the renovation of that structure. The target date of two years set by the Provost to accomplish these relocations and start the renovation of Sage was (barely) met.

In 1981, I was hired as an administrative assistant by David Eastman. I moved to the Research Building and took on very diff erent responsibilities.

My career took another turn in October of 1987, I joined the Martin P. Catherwood library staff with Phil Dankert as my supervisor. This was quite an undertaking. I had no library experience. A couple weeks into the job, I wondered if I had made the mistake of a lifetime. I worked very hard, learned the necessary new skills and prevailed.

My job in the library changed in 2004. I became a web assistant for our web site Digital Commons. This was another challenge which required learning new skills.

It has been quite a journey. 28 years later, it is time to start yet another journey. My career at Cornell has come to an end.

Patsy started in Dairy Herd Records in 1976, from there moving to the Hotel School in 1979, Human Ecology in 1987, and finally ILR. She has worked in Students Services since February 2001 and says ILR has been a perfect place to end her Cornell career.

Patsy will have her retirement filled with gardening, grandchildren and volunteering – and maybe working some time in to travel with her husband.

Sandy started out in ILR in 1978 as an administrative assistant working on a small grant administered by Prof. Robert Doherty and Prof. Ronald Donovan. She had been laid off from the local telephone company and was desperately searching for another job when Mary Tucker off ered her the position mainly because Sandy “happened to be the only applicant that did not remind Mary of her mother.”

During the summer of 1978, she applied for and was offered a position in the ILR Extension Division Fiscal Office working for David Stotz and Merle Hayes.

She worked in the Extension Fiscal Office until June 1991 when she transferred to the ILR Human Resources Office working with Pam Strausser and Gail Hendrix and has remained in the HR office ever since.

After retiring, Sandy plans to ride off into the sunset on a big orange motorcycle.

Farley is widely known for her work on advancing the status of women workers -- especially managers, academic women and clerical women -- as well as for her work on affirmative action, sexual discrimination and sexual harassment. She was a consultant on women' issues to many organizations, including several in Spain, Saudi Arabia and Brazil.

"Jennie was truly an amazing woman -- a tireless educator and scholar, a contributor to women' rights issues and a staunch community causes volunteer. This campus will miss her many contributions, as well as her cheery presence," said Susanne Bruyère, director of the Cornell Program on Employment and Disability in the Extension Division of the School of Industrial and Labor Relations.

Jean McKelvey and Maurice were appointed the first faculty members of Cornell’s newly created ILR School in 1945 by its founding dean, Irving Ives. Mr. Ives left the university shortly thereafter for the United States Senate. Maurice served as secretary, then chair, of the committee that governed the school between Ives’s resignation and the appointment of Martin P. Catherwood as Dean of the School in 1947. One of Maurice’s most valuable contributions to the school was during this formative period in its history. By virtue of his dignity and erudition, as well as his considerable political skills, Maurice greatly facilitated the acceptance of the initially controversial multidisciplinary ILR School into the larger university community.

After retiring, Smith plans to devote more time to her community and her church. When reflecting upon her career of assisting and nurturing in the development of ILR students, Smith said, "They come in as caterpillars; they evolve, and then they leave as butterflies. They have to learn to be students, it isn’t always easy Martha Smith but they always manage. As they open up we all learn that we are more alike than we are different and together we learn to appreciate the likenesses and the differences."
