Sonja R Brobeck

As we approach Sonja´s 86 th birthday, know that she still brings a smile to my face because she was always so positive. Sending love to Josie and the whole family

Dr. Sonya Brobeck´s leadership style encouraged others to continue to inspire educators to learn as they guided professional development, whether we were teachers, professional clinicians, supervisors or students. Moreover, her interest in students was so apparent. Phillipsburg-Osceola SD was a welcoming host, impacted, no doubt by her enthusiasm as a Superintendent. P-O mentor teachers shared her enthusiasm for the profession and welcomed Penn State Student Teachers as classroom professionals. I am honored to have worked as a student teacher supervisor during Sonja Brobeck's tenure. My deepest sympathies to her family.

Sonja was a wonderful woman, and always willing to help everyone any way she could and always with a smile.

Sonja was a role model to me is so many ways. She always cared about us as she led the student teaching supervisors at Penn State. She took the time to talk to you and really listen, which doesn´t always happen today. No problem was too small nor too big for her to give you suggestions on how to solve it. She was a leader and I am proud to have called her my friend. She will be missed by so many of us.
