Professor Emeritus Laura Nelson died Oct. 12. Nelson earned her B.A. from the University of Illinois, her master's from the University of Southern Illinois-Carbondale, followed by her Ph.D., also from SIUC. She came to La Crosse in 1983 to join the faculty in the Speech Communication and Theater Arts Department. When that department reorganized in 1996, Laura was instrumental in forming the new Communication Studies Department, which included a merger with the Mass Communication Department. In addition to serving as Department Chair for nine years, she also served on the Faculty Senate and held all four Executive Committee positions.
Laura's friend and colleague Linda Dickmeyer kindly shared the following observations from the members of the CST Department:
"There is a collective theme that 'Laura paved new avenues and made a difference at UWL.' 'She was the smartest, most well-read person I had ever met, and she did nothing but bolster that impressing in the following years.' 'She was a person who was not afraid to stand up for her ideals and beliefs. She went out of her way to support everyone who worked with her.' I couldn't agree more--she was an excellent listener, a trusted colleague, an outstanding writer, and her presence and sensible advice was valued by all faculty and staff in CST."
