Dave,
It has been an absolute pleasure working with you on setting up the various PMP orientations and other events throughout the years. I’m so very glad to say congratulations on your retirement!! I hope the days ahead are full of projects, or relaxation, a mix of both, or whatever your heart desires!
We’ll miss you!! Please be sure to pop back in from time to time. 🙂
Best wishes,
Alexander Lefort
It’s been awesome working with you!
Thanks so much for everything you’ve done for the Dept and our great students… I’ll miss you, but – boy – I know you’ll have fun! DanW
I’ve worked with many talented advisors over the years, but none had deeper knowledge of, nor concern for, student’s lives. Not to mention brilliant sketches at PMP graduations! Thank you for all the students you have helped!

Hi Dave, congrats again!! Thanks for teaching me the industry event ropes way back when – it was so much fun hanging in the evenings helping all those students with their career prep. We’ll miss you but I’m so excited for your future adventures!

Congratulations Dave, both on your retirement from the Allen School and on your completion of an awesome array of organized sporting events. It was always impressive to see the participant numbers in your office. All the best wishes from here out.
Dave — thanks for your enormous contributions to our students and to CSE. You helped build a highly successful program that changed the lives of many people. It was really fun working with you all those years.

Dave,
Thanks for all your great work on the PMP and post-doc programs in the Allen School! Before I retired myself I had the pleasure of working with you regularly on PMP issues, and you were always caring, thoughtful, and had the best interests of the students in mind. A high point was always the PMP graduation dinners. Happy retirement!

Dave, when I was the administrator of Industrial & Systems Engineering, we decided to start a distance learning program. New to distance learning, I started asking folks who I should get advice from and all the responses were the same: Dave Rispoli. I reached out to you and you could not have been more kind. You patiently answered all of my questions while passing on your sage advice. I am so happy for you and the new world of opportunities that lie ahead in your retirement. I’ll leave you with the final question from Mary Oliver’s poem The Summer Day: “…what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?” Go forth and enjoy. kellus
Thank you Dave for all your great work over the many years. We will miss you dearly and wish you all the best in your retirement! Please stay in touch.
Dear Dave, we will miss you!! your warm smile and caring nature have been amazing for the PMP students and all of the rest of us.
Wishing you a healthy, fun and exciting retirement!
