“I was deeply saddened to read that you will be leaving us at Monash. I just wanted to reach out to you and thank you for everything you have imparted onto me as an up and coming chemical engineer. I can honestly say it was an honour to have been taught by someone with your achievements, experience and reputation; I only hope to put your teachings into good use throughout my future career. I still remember having a chat with you in your office before I began my internship at Glencore last year; where you imparted some valuable advice from your time in mining. I still remember sitting at my desk at work and encountering some of the issues you spoke about and how you worked around them. Most of all, what I have taken away from my time as your student is not only the technical knowledge that you imparted on me; but the mindset, attitude and thinking process that is necessary to be an excellent chemical engineer. Thank you again for helping us be better engineers, I wish you all the best for your future endeavours and hope to run into you again.”
