In Memoriam: Sharon Dunwoody
Sharon Dunwoody, Evjue-Bascom Professor Emerita of the School of Journalism and Mass Communication and a leader in science communication research, died February 4, 2022, after undergoing treatment for cancer in recent months.
Beyond her path-breaking scholarship and public outreach, Sharon was an incredible colleague, mentor, teacher and friend.
Kind, patient, wise, thoughtful and generous, Sharon Dunwoody was an embodiment and reflection of the best of us. She leaves an enormous footprint in the field and in our school and an even larger hole in our hearts.
