Deb Fisher (PhD candidate at UIUC): Rest in Peace
I just learned that an academic colleague of mine, Deb Fisher, passed away last week. She was completing her PhD at the College of Education at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. I met Deb several years ago at an AHRD conference in Estes Park, Colorado. We worked together on the Scholar-Practitioner Committee there when it was first formed, and afterward had the chance to get together one day when I was visiting Chicago with Michael for some research. We walked a lot, visited the Art Institute of Chicago, and ate some wonderful Chicago deep-dish pizza with the mandatory scribbling on the walls. I saw her again recently at the Indianapolis AHRD Conference, but we did not have the opportunity to spend more than only a few minutes catching up. I remember her for her endless energy and quirky way of looking at all sides of an issue to bring the most out of what she faced.
May she Rest in Peace.
