In June 2022, Anne, after 45 years, retired as a faculty member and director of College of the Atlantic’s writing program. Her greatest accomplishment, she feels, was developing the Writing Center where trained peer tutors assist other students with a range of writing assignments. On her retirement, the college renamed it: the Anne Kozak Center for Excellence in Writing. For many years, Anne covered Bar Harbor and Mount Desert as well as Acadia National Park for the Bar Harbor Times and Mount Desert Islander. In 2016, she and Susan Leiter published The Wild Gardens of Acadia—a garden where Anne, who currently co-chairs the Wild Garden committee, has volunteered since 1972.
