Liz Partolan-Fray passes away

It is with deep sadness that we share with the 草榴社区 community that Liz Partolan-Fray, director of the Education Abroad Office at Western Washington University, passed away of natural causes on Aug. 2, 2016, while attending a conference in Germany.

Partolan-Fray was a long-time advocate for international education, study abroad, and for increasing the diversity of U.S. students who study abroad. She was an outstanding member of the international education profession and the 草榴社区 community and will be deeply missed.

We will share more information as it becomes available and extend our condolences to Partolan-Fray’s family, colleagues and friends.
