An associate professor of modern languages and literature at Northern Michigan University since 1998, Susan was recognized for her dedication to innovative teaching, her commitment to a proactive, highly qualified faculty, and her key role in internationalizing the curriculum.
Susan was a Latin American scholar who traveled widely. In 2008, with her family in tow, she conducted grant-based research in Spain and gave a scholarly paper in Costa Rica. She recently received the TLC Award from NMU for exemplary use of notebook computers in teaching for her project "Brazilianizing the Curriculum: Integrating Online Authentic Cultural Resources into Language Coursework." Designed for an accelerated Portuguese-language classroom, the project linked language instruction, living culture, and Brazil's role in the world. She frequently took students abroad, including a trip to Peru in 2006, in which she divided teaching duties with her historian husband.
Susan earned her doctorate from the University of California at Berkeley, her master's degree from Middlebury College, and her bachelor's degree from Cornell University.
Susan was outspoken with a marvelously acerbic wit. She was imaginative, perceptive and articulate, and peppered her conversations with stories from the literature she taught. She was a loyal and kind-hearted friend, with a calming presence and a mirthful giggle.
She loved her family and reveled in watching her children explore the world. She was a devoted advocate for the needs of her children, and a conscientious, supportive mother.
