Corinne Smith Ph.D.

I just found out about Corinne´s death. I very saddened by this reality and I´m sending sincere condolences to her family. Corinne was the person who made it possible for me to get my Master´s degree and I loved working as her assistant. I was proud to have worked on one of her textbooks. She was inspirational and I was in awe of her. I will never forget her. May she Rest In Peace.

I just learned of Corinne´s death as announced in the SU School of Education Bulletin. Debbie and family, please accept my heartfelt condolences. I know the Roth family from Reading and in later years connected with Corinne through a mutual interest in special education. She was a knowledgeable and compassionate advocate for those with special needs, as well as a mentor to families and educators looking to affect change in school communities when children were often dismissed or...

I am very sorry for this tragic loss of such a resplendent , kind and loving person whom I truly admired and loved dearly .

My heartfelt condolences to you and family for your loss, Lynn.

I have fond memories of Corinne and her family. My mother and Corrine bonded over their common Hungarian-Jewish heritage and they enjoyed playing tennis together. I remember Corrine as optimistic, passionate about her family and career, and always warm, gracious, and caring. My condolences to the Smiths and Shulmans.

Corinne and I met at SU (she was dean) and I was touring the Edu. School. The next year I began my Freshman Yr. and she continued to be a mentor and guidance of mine throughout my Educational Career. She was also a teacher of mine and supported me in the classroom in ways I had never experienced before. The power of a special teacher is real and I will miss her dearly.

Corinne and I met on the tennis court. Our short acquaintance was filled with camaraderie, fun and appreciation of each other's point of view. She was a brief but bright light in my life. I offer my condolences to her family.

I am very saddened to learn of Corinne´s passing. My deepest sympathies are with Lynn and family. Corinne was the interim Dean who hired me in 2001. She helped me develop my early career work at Syracuse University and was a wonderful mentor and confidant. She and Lynn visited Thailand with me to meet my collaborative parters at a prestigious school system and sign a Memorandum of Understanding. We had a wonderful time visiting the school and surrounding areas of Thailand. So many adventures....

Corinne was always encouraging to me through my many trials on finishing my dissertation. She was inspiring as we shared many concerns. Peace and caring to her family and many colleagues.
