By Shelby Brown–
U of L professor Carol Hanchette died over fall break while hiking in Bighorn National Forest. Hanchette, an avid hiker, is remembered by her friends and colleagues as a dedicated educator.
“She was brilliant and a tremendously hard worker. She leaves a huge gap in our department. (She was) a real geographer’s geographer,” Geography and Geoscience department chair David Howarth said.
Hanchette was active in research, her most recent grant from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences was featured in Dean Kimberly Kempf-Leonard’s State of the College address.
