Throughout his career, he's been an important friend and mentor to many of us. At his retirement party in September, we will be presenting Walt with a book of notes of appreciation. If you would like to contribute a story, note of appreciation, and/or photo for the book, please c<a href="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfxxVDSDtdBI_rvo-pdso8v10FR7X4-l8NteQYWgpYPqXj31A/viewform">omplete this form</a> by June 1. Though some of the details are TBD, we are working with Walt's family and the university to put together a celebration of Walt's career here at NC State in September. There's a spot on that form to indicate if you'd like details about the event in case you're able to attend. If you have multiple photos, you can complete the form multiple times or just send them to Danica Cullinan at <span style="white-space:pre-wrap;color:rgb(31,31,31);font-family:Roboto,Arial,sans-serif"><a href="mailto:dlcullin@ncsu.edu" target="_blank">dlcullin@ncsu.edu</a> (that email address is also on the form). Walt doesn't know about the book, so please keep that quiet. </span></span></div><div><span style="white-space:pre-wrap;color:rgb(31,31,31);font-family:Roboto,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-size:14px"><a href="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfxxVDSDtdBI_rvo-pdso8v10FR7X4-l8NteQYWgpYPqXj31A/viewform">https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfxxVDSDtdBI_rvo-pdso8v10FR7X4-l8NteQYWgpYPqXj31A/viewform</a><span style="white-space:pre-wrap;color:rgb(31,31,31);font-family:Roboto,Arial,sans-serif"><br></span></span></div><div><span style="white-space:pre-wrap;color:rgb(31,31,31);font-family:Roboto,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px"><br></span></div><div><span style="white-space:pre-wrap;color:rgb(31,31,31);font-family:Roboto,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px">Thanks, </span></div><div><span style="white-space:pre-wrap;color:rgb(31,31,31);font-family:Roboto,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px"><br></span></div><div><div><span style="font-size:14px">Jeff</span></div></div><div><span style="font-size:14px"><br></span></div><span style="font-size:14px"><span class="gmail_signature_prefix">-- </span><br></span><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><span style="font-size:14px"><br></span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-alternates:normal;font-variant-numeric:normal;font-variant-east-asian:normal;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;font-size:14px">Jeffrey Reaser, PhD (he, him, his) </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-alternates:normal;font-variant-numeric:normal;font-variant-east-asian:normal;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;font-size:14px">Professor </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-alternates:normal;font-variant-numeric:normal;font-variant-east-asian:normal;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;font-size:14px">NC State University </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-alternates:normal;font-variant-numeric:normal;font-variant-east-asian:normal;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;font-size:14px">Department of English</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-alternates:normal;font-variant-numeric:normal;font-variant-east-asian:normal;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;font-size:14px">Director of Undergraduate Programs & Advising </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-alternates:normal;font-variant-numeric:normal;font-variant-east-asian:normal;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;font-size:14px">Coordinator -<a href="https://english.chass.ncsu.edu/undergraduate/ltn/" target="_blank"> Secondary English Education</a> </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-alternates:normal;font-variant-numeric:normal;font-variant-east-asian:normal;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;font-size:14px">Associate Director <a href="https://languageandlife.org/" target="_blank">Language and Life Project</a> </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt"><a href="https://english.chass.ncsu.edu/undergraduate/ltn/" target="_blank" style="text-decoration:none"><span style="font-family:Arial;color:rgb(17,85,204);font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-alternates:normal;font-variant-numeric:normal;font-variant-east-asian:normal;text-decoration-line:underline;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;font-size:14px"></span></a></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt"><span style="font-size:14px"><a href="https://chass.ncsu.edu/people/jlreaser/" target="_blank" style="text-decoration:none"><span style="font-family:Arial;color:rgb(17,85,204);font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-alternates:normal;font-variant-numeric:normal;font-variant-east-asian:normal;text-decoration-line:underline;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap">https://chass.ncsu.edu/people/jlreaser/</span></a><span style="font-family:Arial;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-alternates:normal;font-variant-numeric:normal;font-variant-east-asian:normal;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap"> </span></span></p></div></div></body></html>
