My last day at NEWTW!ST has arrived. Today is the day that I bid farewell to not only my job, but the city I call home. After 4 years at the University of Oregon and 10 months at NEWTW!ST, I find it hard to imagine being anywhere else. However, I know it is time to move on. As a final thank you and goodbye to my dear friends/co-workers at NEWTW!ST I have written a small poem in their honor. It is a play off of the famous Margaret Wise Brown poem and Children’s book “Goodnight Moon.”
