Dear Norm:

 

I want to take this opportunity to express my appreciation, and that of Columbia College, for your effort, on our behalf, during the relocation of our Lake County, IL program. The College is certainly not optimized to manage property acquisition and construction. Your expertise was invaluable to the successful completion of lease negotiations and the subsequent remodeling operation. In addition to your quick responses to our endless questions, I appreciated your willingness to assist us in matters that were often beyond the general scope of your services.

 

I know that in the spectrum of projects that you are involved with, ours was not large. However, for a small, not-for-profit college, your attention to detail, in matters of cost savings, was greatly appreciated.

 

My staff and I look forward to working with you and your organization in the future. Again, thank you for your Herculean effort in the expansion of our facilities in Lake County, IL. Ultimately, thousands of adult learners will be the beneficiaries of your efforts.

 

Sincerely,

 

Mike Randerson
Dean of the Extended Studies Division
