In the summer of 2003, I returned to Eugene and the University of Oregon after finishing my Master’s degree elsewhere. I spent that summer applying for every job I qualified for at the University.
During my search, I contacted Dan Williams on the off chance that he might have some time to meet with me. To my surprise, he not only made time to discuss University employment opportunities at length, Williams took a concerted interest in my job search and encouraged me to keep in contact. Given his position with the University, I could hardly believe how accessible and patient he was. His advice was invaluable and when I did find University employment, Dan’s congratulations meant the world to me.
Williams is one of the most committed administrators I have met at the University, and I wish him the best in his retirement.
