I worked with Sandra as her chairman for over a decade at Columbus State and was always impressed by her intelligence, dedication to her students, conscientiousness, and hard work. She loved teaching and learning. I am sorry to hear of her passing. I and her many students will miss her.

My condolences to the family and friends of Sandra Theis at her passing. I will always think kindly of her as a friendly and helpful colleague at Columbus State. I was so thankful at her generosity for volunteering to develop the index for the writing guide I wrote. She'll stay in my thoughts.
