I was a graduate student at WSU, when Lisa was Chair. What an extraordinary woman she was!
What I remember most was her jaw dropping stories of students and faculty from years past. No wonder she was such a popular professor. She could keep her audience rapt with attention.
When I ran into teaching challenges, she was an extraordinary resource. I teach 101 today, in Arizona. I can only hope I am doing justice to the teaching standards she established at WSU.

After taking Lisa´s sociology 101 course in 2009, I completely changed my major. To my parents disappointment and after having worked very hard to get into the communication program. My parents often laugh about the day I told them I wanted to pursue sociology and they said "what kind of job are you going to get with that?" They laugh because I´ve been able to anything and everything! This class helped me to find my purpose and passion. I am a proud sociologist and recently completed my masters in social work. Thank you Lisa for inspiring me through your teaching. Your legacy is such an ode to what a beautiful human you were/are.

Lisa was a Camp Kirby childhood friend of mine. We planned to go some of the same sessions for several years. She was spunky and fun.
One time while camping up Chuckanut Mountain with our camp counselor, Nevis Pavia Jones, we paddled out to the middle of the "lake" sitting half-submerged on a homemade raft to fish. Lisa told me if we flexed our muscles., the mosquitoes could bite through our skin. So there we sat like Huck Finn and Tom Sawyer, fishing with flexed muscles. We caught two small fish and returned to our sleeping bags coated with mosquito bites.
A fond memory.
