ncat bids fond farewell to assistant director greg matejcik
Greg Matejcik is leaving St. Lawrence to pursue a new career opportunity that will take him away from the North Country. We’re sorry to see him go, but wish him the best.
Greg joined the staff in 2006, and has been instrumental in getting the NCAT operational and keeping it running so smoothly for the last few years. He served as Acting Director while I was on sabbatical for the Fall 2008 semester.
We’re saying goodbye to one of the NCAT’s founders. If the NCAT ever prints its own money, Greg’s likeness will appear on most of the bills…

Greg,
I am SO sad that you’re leaving. I have appreciated both your tech wisdom and your friendship. You will be missed! I wish you all the best.
Love, AM

There once was a guy named Greg
Whose tech skills were up on the leg
His skills were amazing
His knowledge, blazing
I know I’ll need help; I’ll beckon and beg.
We’ll miss you sooo much!!!
I don’t really get the leg reference, other than it rhymed, of course, and I recall something about being “one leg up” on a project or something like that.

Dearest Greg,
If I ever play another Broadway song for a vocal showcase titled “Lights UP! A Vocal Showcase”, then I will think of you. If not, then you will probably never be in my thoughts again….
JUST KIDDING!! I’ll miss you pianist buddy….and I’ll also miss you running around the NCAT during In-Sil’s class next semester..with that frantic look on your face.

Most Honorable Matejcik,
You will be missed. I am sorry that I will no longer be able to send you e-mails or call you about problems at the lab. Scratch that, I’m still going to e-mail you to let you know when I arrive at the NCAT. Bwhahaha….ha…..haaaaa.

Greg,
I’m delighted that you are getting this wonderful new professional opportunity, but I’m totally freaked out that you’re leaving us! How will we ever get along without you?!
You were amazing with my class this semester, and I certainly couldn’t have done it without you. In fact, now that you’re leaving I might never do that class again…
We’ll miss you A LOT, but we all wish you all the best.
Cheers,
Rebecca

Hmm, it’s almost as if people like Greg or something. Must be because he’s both good AND nice. Such a strange combination….

Sigh. Who will play my piano and move my music around? Who will tell me how do do stuff? Who will come in my office and complain about you-know-who? How will I ever get along?
I know you’re going to do a super job for your next university, and I have great faith in your ability to orchestrate your new beginnings. It will be wonderful, I know.

I’m just ill.
Greg-a-licious, I’ve known you since you were a wee child sitting in my Comm. Studies class with too much hair gel on your head. So earnest. So sardonic. So funny.
Hey, congrats on the tech. thing, but don’t forget to sing and make music, too, ok?
Do you have a futon for me?
Haaaaaaaaaaaaaatford, here he comes. Yikes.

positive charge, constantly unfolding
a smile
Upright enthusiasm
forward motion
Good for you

Prospective candidates for the vacancy are invited to submit materials demonstrating: (1) bottomless good cheer, (2) the ability to leap computer problems in a single bound, (3) the capacity to double effectively in an ensemble on trombone and voice, and (4) a knack for remaining totally unflappable in the midst of pedagogical anxieties and technological confusion.

Greg,
This sounds like a wonderful job, and it’s in a great location. There are good times ahead—congratulations!
We’ll miss you!
