[COGS] Resignation

[COGSSpeaker]

Hello All,

I have been very grateful to lead the 28th Congress of Graduate Students. We have had a rough ride these past 8 months and I have been impressed with your ability to adapt to these trying times. Though we were crippled by the funding freeze, I believe the resolutions that we passed supporting diversity and inclusivity for FSU students during the summer to be some of the most meaningful work I have been able to contribute to in my time as a member of COGS.

I have chosen to step down from my position because I am no longer able to commit the kind of time necessary to hold this position due to a planned increase in my responsibilities as a member of the Office of Counseling Services at FAMU. I did declare my candidacy to retain my position as a Representative for the College of Education and I intend to remain active in the coming year though in a lesser capacity. I wish I could have been with y'all yesterday to inform you of my resignation in person, but unfortunately, I experienced the death of a dear friend on Sunday evening and was unable to attend. I have the greatest faith in the current leadership of COGS, to each of whom I extend a deep sense of gratitude for their service and friendship, and I know that y'all will continue to impress me with your professionalism and dedication to the Student Body.

It is my deepest hope that each of you know that, though I no longer lead the congress, I view you as dear friends and I will always do my best to support you.

In my final statement as Speaker of the 28th Congress of Graduate Students, I leave you with an old Irish Blessing:

May the road rise to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back,
May the sun shine warm upon your face and the rain fall soft upon your fields,
and until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of his hand.

Yours in Service,

Michael J. Morgan, Jr., M.S., N.C.C.  Congress of Graduate Students, Speaker
