| The wind was taken from our sails when
Chris Stanton, assistant judicial coordinator, died in a car
accident in San Diego on March 25, 2003. With one year of experience
within H&RS, Chris was ready to take on new challenges in his
job with even more creativity and collaboration. Chris had been instrumental
in implementing the Freshman Summer Start Program in its first year.
Chris also mentored a men’s floor in Santa Cruz, called the Men’s
Hall. He formed many great connections with men as well as women in
our community.
With his death, many residents commented that he made a difference
in their lives. Not only was he connecting through his work in the
residence halls, Chris also co-led a section of a University course
(INT 20) and was an Educational Opportunity Program (EOP) Pod leader.
Chris was honored by the campus as one of the recipients of the
Getman Award, and the internship for first year students will be
named the Chris Stanton Intern. It is difficult to lose a person
who had such tremendous energy for our unit and our work. Joyce
Ester, judicial affairs coordinator, did a great job working with
Chris’ family and friends to honor his memory on many different
levels. We will miss Chris. |
