Dr. Joan M. Foster, prior LAS Dean of Metro State University, passed on 8/1/20 from a sudden bout with renal cell cancer. Joan leaves us with her lasting legacies: a commitment to the students of Metropolitan State University, and a dedication to the historic Brooks Tower in downtown Denver. The Brooks Tower Prospector says "Farewell dear friend!" Celebration of life services will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, please send donation to a scholarship fund in Joan's name.

Please accept my sincere condolences dear family and friends. May prayers strengthen you and memories comfort you. And may you find hope and comfort in God our Father, who loves us, comfort your hearts and "make you firm". (2 Thessalonians 2:16, 17).

I had the privilege of having Dr. Foster as a professor at Adams State in 1970. I still remember her calm demeanor, the respect with which she addressed each of my fellow students, her humor and brilliance. Blessings to her on her journey.
