I am bereft, but I knew this day would come. I spent more than two years trying to get @Zielina to come to @newmarkjschool because I knew she was the ONLY, the PERFECT person to start the executive program I'd dreamed of. Finally, I succeeded. So did she. 1/

.@Zielina did a brilliant job starting our News Innovation and Leadership management program, recruiting the best faculty and brilliant students who will take over and save journalism. Yes, that's their homework. I had the privilege of teaching alongside her and learned much. 2/

Not only that, but @Zielina gave my boss and dean, @sarah__bartlett--and many more of our colleagues--brilliant strategic advice for our school. She has been an invaluable force among us. I am grateful she took time from her meteoric media career to do this. 3/

I am glad I will still get to work with @Zielina even from Austria as she will continue to teach in our program. Soon I hope to be back in Vienna to have coffee in the cafe where it all began. Gute Reise, meine Freunde. Vielen Dank. Bon chance.

And I am delighted at the same time that the brilliant @louiegilot will take over Anita's duties over our @newmarkjschool J+ programs, which Marie started when we were lucky to bring her to our center of the f'ing universe. Expect even more great things from her and us.
