Liz Evenson, Cohort 15

Tim Burchill was more than a faculty member; he was a generous mentor and friend. Cohorts 1-16 have had the incredible privilege of learning about the significance of philanthropy from Tim as he helped to shape our understanding of and potential impact in doing good work in our communities, states, nations and world. We have all been blessed to have known him. The last time I saw Tim was following last summer's P&D closing ceremony, at the farewell party held at Hillside. He was one of the few faculty members who came to celebrate with us students. As Tim was leaving, I approached him to say goodbye. But Tim was quick to correct me, saying, "This is not goodbye, it is until we meet again".Tim gave each of us a special gift that continues to grow. This summer and in the future, I look foward to seeing the many ways in which Tim's spirit will live on in each of us.
