Not sure what to say?

I was a student of Dr. Wittig while attending SIUE, and upon my graduation, she showed me the great kindness by awarding me her Ollie Mae Science Award and Scholarship.. She was a brilliant and wonderful woman. Rest in Christ Jesus.

I worked in the Biology Dept with Dr Wittig - she was a very supportive faculty member. I remember her with great fondness.

Dr. Wittig was one of the most inspirational and memorable professors I had at SIUE. She gave me knowledge and confidence, I am saddened by her passing.
