Retirement Wishes

Dr. Bonnie Humphrey’s Missouri Valley College story began in 2001. Her story spans more than two decades, and in it comes numerous successes and triumphs. Without a doubt, Dr. Humphrey is leaving Missouri Valley after more than 20 years of service, having given the college the footing it needs to continue to thrive in the future. 

So, as her time in office winds down, her footprint is permanently embedded in Missouri Valley College’s deep history. This college wouldn’t be the place that it is without her leadership and guidance during the past 21 years. And for that, Valley Nation is forever grateful. 

“Thank you for your dedicated and tireless drive to keep Missouri Valley rolling into its second century and beyond. You provided insightful and visionary leadership that strengthened the foundation of Missouri Valley and put in motion initiatives that will insure its ongoing success. I had the privilege of serving with you. You “got us!” You understood the essence of the place and embraced our mission. You led with dignity, grace and your unique mix of unwavering determination, passion, commitment to excellence and grace. I hate to see you move on and will miss you. Best wishes in your well-earned retirement.”
