"I have been asked by the college to direct the new Honors Transfer Program beginning April 1st. My new office is located in room 914A. First, I want to encourage all of you who are eligible for this new program to submit your application to me next month (April 2008). Details are at www.cabrillohonors.org.

Second, those of you who have been working with me and want to continue to see me for counseling appointments in my new location, please feel free to contact me at 477-3505, domekis@cabrillo.edu, or come by my new office in room 914A.

"I want you to know how much I have enjoyed working with all of you over the past two years and have been continuously gratified by your commitment and passion for the fields of math, science and engineering. I wish you all the best of luck in continuing the pursuit of your transfer goals and know that you will one day be leaders in the work fields that you eventually choose. It's been a pleasure knowing all of you.

Keep up your commitment and hard work."
