Say Goodbye to Ryan!

June 10, 2008 at 12:31 pm by Ryan Lombardini

Hi everyone -

So … Ryan will be leaving us in 3 weeks!  *tear* But never fear, he’s not gone yet so you should come say goodbye, bid him farewell, and send him off on Wednesday, June 11th from 4:00-6:00 p.m. in the Locus.

Come take a break from finals and give Ryan the love he wants to take with him!
