With Sympathy for the loss of Pauline who always had the students in mind. I worked with her on many committees and she always had valid data and wanted to move forward with ideas. Her positive attitude was indeed a Blessing!

Pauline Chow was one of the biggest advocates on behalf of students that I know. I got to know Pauline as part of several committees on how to help students succeed. Her storytelling was amazing. We laughed together often. I will miss her perspectives, laughter, and smile. May those who loved her find comfort in their memories. She will be greatly missed.

Condolences to Pauline's Family. She was so very special! When I worked in transfer credit at HACC, Pauline was always accessible to help assess math courses with patience and enthusiasm. She was a breath of fresh air and made everything fun. So sorry for your loss.

When I began teaching at the Gettysburg Campus, I relied on Pauline as a mentor and friend. We attended many AMATYC and PCTM conferences together. My favorite was Salt Lake City. I was ready to head to my room for a rest when Pauline had a better idea. We attended a rehearsal of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. What an experience!!

What a loss to the world. I had the honor of being Pauline´s faculty colleague and worked closely with her as an academic administrator at HACC´s Virtual Learning and she the math department chair. We always were looking for great online math faculty; she never settled on average. She treated everyone with the upmost respect no matter the situation. What perhaps I loved most about Pauline was how her eyes twinkled when she found something intriguing or funny. She never lost her inner child....

Pauline's reputation as a professor and colleague was highly impactful. I first served on a search committee with her many years ago, and I was immediately impressed with her verbal wit and keen ability to quickly access data and facts. Her laughter was delightful and conversation always engaging and respectful. Pauline's influence upon her students continues through the online lectures and tutorials that she created with her extraordinary talent and intellectual acuity. May Pauline's family...
