After 38 years of magnificent service to Purdue University, the Agronomy Department is sad to say goodbye to Connie Foster. As the Administrative Assistant for Agronomy for 36 of those years, Connie has been an integral part of keeping the department functioning - and thriving - every step of the way.

Connie is a loving grandmother to triplets, and is excited to be able to spend more time with them as they grow. She will be missed as not just a former staff member, but also as a close friend to many people at Purdue. Her unwavering work ethic combined with a kind and compassionate personality will always be fondly remembered.

The Agronomy Department wishes Connie all the best in her retirement, and many more happy memories to be made with her friends and family as she embarks on this next chapter of her life.
