IWCA Members:
It is with great sadness that I write to you with news of Leigh Ryan, who died Sunday, March 2. Leigh was a friend, colleague, and mentor to me personally, as I know she was to many of you in IWCA.
Due to formatting limitations and length in our email system, I opted to place my full letter honoring Leigh's contributions to IWCA and the writing center community elsewhere. You can read that letter here.
Kathy Cain and Pam Childers have shared information elsewhere about a celebration of life for Leigh, which will take place at the University of Maryland Alumni Center on Saturday, March 22 with a short program starting at 2pm (Eastern Time). For those who wish to attend, the zoom for this event is https://us02web.zoom.us/j/84097046302.
