Such a devastating loss. Sharon did so much for each one of her students, all of her colleagues, our department and college, and the broader university and field. She defined whole areas of communication and broke barriers as a UW leader. But more than her accomplishments was her abiding dedication to her community coupled with warmth and patience toward everyone she encountered. She was a model academic who inspired me and shaped the norms of our department. She was kind and easygoing, yet also so thoughtful and deliberative. Deepest condolences to Steve and all those who counted her as a friend. She will be deeply missed.
