Jill with her award-winning contribution to the 2014 Seton Hall art show.

In early August, Jill Dippman, ELMP department secretary, retired from her position after supporting the department since October 2005 — Congratulations!   

The HEGSA Stewards would like to thank Jill for her ongoing support.  Her assistance and support has been invaluable and much appreciated.  

Prior to leaving, Jill shared a note and an image of a recent art project from the Seton Hall art show, as a farewell to students in the Higher Education Programs.

Dear Students,
I began working for the University in May 2003. I was initially hired for a short assignment in TLTC (Teaching, Learning and Technology Center).  In early October 2005, I transitioned to the ELMP department secretary position.  Seton Hall was the third University for which I have worked; my previous include Harvard and Tufts. I grew up in New Jersey and I left at 25 to pursue photography school in Boston.  I ended up living in Boston for twenty years.  I returned to New Jersey via Hoboken for five years and worked in New York City for Martha Stewart, among others.  Following September 11th, I left Hoboken to live temporarily with family while I took on short-term assignments until I was hired at Seton Hall.  I was grateful to find employment and spend my days in a spiritual environment.

After I was with the department for approximately three years, I resumed my undergraduate studies and I applied to be a student in the fine arts program with a minor in art history.  Supporting the ELMP department gave me a better understanding of your needs as students and I tried to better assist you.  It was always my hope to assist you with your goals.  I have enjoyed my time at Seton Hall and getting to know many students and helping them throughout the program.

This summer, I reached the point in my career to retire.  It is a little earlier than I anticipated, but a house flood late in the winter requires my presence more than once a week to get things under control.  Also, I plan to complete my undergraduate studies and graduate in December.  I will miss you and the faculty as well as the office staff with whom I have worked with for nearly ten years.

Have a wonderful semester and ‘Good Luck with Your Studies!’
Warm Regards,
Jill

Farewell, Jill — Enjoy your Retirement!
