Mentor retirement and promotions

  • Thread starter Greg Bernhardt
  • Start date
In summary, two new members, PeterDonis and Orodruin, have joined the PF Mentors group. PeterDonis will be a Physics Mentor and Orodruin will be a Homework Help Mentor. Both members have been highly regarded and their addition to the staff is greatly anticipated. Sadly, long-time mentor George Jones will be retiring to spend more time with his daughter. Mark44 will also be moving from the Homework Help forums to Mathematics. Congratulations to the new mentors and thank you to George for your years of dedication.

Please congratulate PeterDonis and Orodruin for joining the Mentors. PeterDonis will be joining as a Physics Mentor and Orodruin as a Homework Help Mentor. Both of these members have been top notch and we are really excited for them to join the staff. We know PF will continue moving forward with these two coming on board.

Usually when there is a promotion there is also a retirement. I am sad to say George Jones will be leaving the PF Mentors group. George Jones has been a rock for many years and provided consistent advice and leadership. George Jones indicated that he will spend his new free time with his daughter. Now how can you argue with that! Thanks George and enjoy your free time!

Also to note, Mark44 will be transferring from the Homework Help forums to Mathematics.
