In Memoriam: Dolores Clarkson
By Michelle Cook
A new scholarship to support education students will honour
the memory of long-time university staff member Dolores Clarkson,
who passed away on March 10 after a short illness. Clarkson’s family,
with the Faculty of Education, is creating the scholarship
to commemorate her 19 years of dedicated service to the university.
Clarkson, 57, began work at the U of C in January 1985 in the
computer science department. In 1989, she moved to the Faculty
of Education where she held various positions, most recently
as manager of the dean’s
office.
An avid amateur chef, Clarkson led the Faculty of Education
to victory in the President’s Chili Cookoff last summer with her
winning recipe for Chili au Chocolat.
Clarkson is survived by
her partner, Alain Boyer, two sons, Charles and Michael, her
mother Carol Lowenberg and siblings Yvonne, Dianna and Graham.

Memorial Scholarship, contact Jennifer Diakiw at 220-7083 or
