Title A name given to the resource In Memory of Dinah Dodds Subject The topic of the resource Obituaries; College teachers; Women--Societies and clubs Description An account of the resource Dr. Dinah Jane Dodds May 29, 1943-Sept. 12, 2019 Professor Emerita of German Studies Dinah Dodds, a pinnacle of the Lewis & Clark community, passed away after a three-year battle with cancer at the age of 76. Dodds was beloved by generations of students and faculty alike. Beginning her career at LC in 1972, Dodds taught German language and literature for three and a half decades. She also acted as world languages department chair and as divisional dean of arts and humanities. Professor of Hispanic Studies and Spanish Section Head Juan Carlos Toledano Redondo spoke on Dodds transforming the role of the world languages department on campus. “She pushed for us to be better represented at the campus level,” Toledano Redondo said. “She stressed language as key to a liberal arts education, not just a graduation requirement.” Associate Professor of German Language and Literature Katharina Altpeter-Jones fondly remembered the compassion of her mentor. “When I came for my on-campus interview, I got a real sense of Dinah’s kindness, and her warmth and her joyful nature,” Altpeter-Jones said. “She was a wonderful mentor with a great deal of optimism.” Altpeter-Jones stressed that Dodds’ compassion was felt by students just as much as faculty. “She was a firm believer in every single individual student,” Altpeter-Jones said. “She was so dedicated to her students. Her door was always open.” The Dinah Dodds Endowment for International Education was established by Missy Vaux Hall in honor of Dodds to provide funding for LC students of any discipline to expand on research they start while studying abroad. Alum Marissa Burke ’15 received the Dinah Dodds endowment. She reflected on how the endowment impacted her overseas experience in Strasbourg. “The Dinah Dodds scholarship allowed me to research my favorite poet, and I am very grateful to have learned about him and his history,” Burke said via email. “Without the scholarship, my research wouldn’t have been possible, and I wouldn’t have been able to follow that curiosity while I was surrounded by all the resources to explore it.” Annika Clunk ’20 shared similar sentiments about how receiving the endowment greatly influenced her abroad experience after a year in Munich. “(With the scholarship) I was allowed to go to an EU Commission conference,” Clunk said. The conference, held in Brussels, served as inspiration for her thesis. Dodds’ impact on the community reached far beyond the department in which she taught. She had a love for music and sang in the Oregon Repertory Singers for over 40 years. In 2011, she returned to campus to chair the music department for two years. Associate Professor of Music and Director of Choral Activities Katherine FitzGibbon spoke fondly of Dodds as her long-time mentor. “I’d ask her questions and advice, much as I would have had she been on campus,” FitzGibbon said. “She was always incredibly supportive and incredibly wise, and would give the best advice.” On the Resonance Ensemble website, FitzGibbon wrote, “There are few words to express the enormity of this loss. Dinah was simply a remarkable human being — a vibrant and passionate leader who devoted her life to the pursuit of knowledge and public service to the arts.” During her retirement, Dodds continued to be an active singer, a board member for the Resonance Ensemble and Portland Experimental Ensemble Theater, and a promoter of the international research endowment and continued to have an active presence on campus. In honor of her investment in the LC community, Dodds was the recipient of the first David Savage award in 2007 for her service and commitment to the college. “I can’t imagine a human who better epitomizes generous service to others,” FitzGibbon said. “It’s pretty remarkable to think (of) the thousands of us that are carrying a little piece of Dinah forward forever, and that her legacy is going to be never-ending.” Dinah’s memorial service will be held on Nov. 3 in the Agnes Flanagan Chapel.

Title A name given to the resource In Memory of Liselotte ("Lisa") Gumpel Subject The topic of the resource Obituaries; College teachers; Women--Societies and clubs Description An account of the resource Born in Berlin, January 31, 1926, Lisa’s comfortable childhood was disrupted by the Nazis coming to power in Germany. In June, 1939, shortly before the outbreak of the Second World War, her mother was able to send her and her two sisters from Nazi-occupied Europe to London, by way of one of the Kindertransport trains organized by Sir Nicholas Winton. Sadly, this was the last time the girls saw their mother, who perished in the Holocaust during deportation to the Lodz Ghetto. Their father had escaped to London and the girls were re-united with him there. Although they were not able to live with him, they remained close until his death in 1946. In England Lisa lived with foster parents and was fortunate to be sent to a good boarding school, Stoatley Rough School in Haslemere, England. As Lisa achieved excellent exam results, she was encouraged to train as an x-ray technician at the Birmingham Children’s Hospital. Her sister Laura married and settled in London, but Lisa and her other sister, Rosemarie, who was a school teacher, decided to seek a new life in the US in the early 1950s. Lisa found positions as an x-ray technician, first in New York and then in San Francisco, before deciding to attend university in another field. After obtaining a bachelor’s at San Francisco State University, she earned a master’s degree and then earned a doctorate in German at Stanford University. Her chosen focus on German language and linguistics provided the basis for her academic career. Appointed assistant professor of German language and literature at the University of Minnesota, Morris in 1968, Lisa became a full professor in 1980, where she remained until she retired as professor emerita in 1997. During her distinguished career, Lisa published many academic papers and two books, Concrete Poetry from East and West Germany in 1976, and Metaphor re-examined: a non-Aristotelian Perspective in 1984. The latter was nominated for the James Russell Lowell Prize in 1986. Participation in academic conferences and invitations to lecture took her too many places around the world, including South Africa, Australia and various parts of Asia and Europe. During 1977-78 she spent a year at Girton College, University of Cambridge, as the Helen Cam fellow. During her stay she was privileged to meet The Queen Mother. Lisa Gumpel influenced generations of University of Minnesota, Morris students and was never happier than when teaching or writing. A 1987 tribute to her achievements reads: “Professor Gumpel’s students are strongly motivated by her enthusiastic embrace of life and work. They appreciate her interest in their personal fulfilment.” Lisa established a University of Minnesota, Morris scholarship in her name for students interested in foreign languages or classical studies. A reception honoring her career and her donation of six watercolours by the 20th century artist Katerina Wilczynski was held at the Weisman Art Museum in Minneapolis in 2008. Lisa Gumpel died peacefully after a lingering illness on October 22, 2015 at Parkshore Senior Campus in St. Louis Park. She was preceded in death by her parents, Karl and Margarete (Philipps) Gumpel; brother, Rolf; sister, Hannelore (Walter) “Laura” Selo. She is survived by her sister, Rosemarie Gumpel; her nephew, David (Ruth) Selo; two grandnephews and one grandniece.

Title A name given to the resource In Memory of Susanne Zantop Subject The topic of the resource Obituaries; College teachers; Women--Societies and clubs Description An account of the resource Suzanne Zantop (1945-2001). Susanne was a valued and active member of WiG. She was an insightful scholar, whose book "Colonial Fantasies" remains relevant to postcolonial and transnational studies in German, and a dear friend to many in the German Studies community. She and her husband Half, an economic geologist, were both well-liked professors at Dartmouth College when they were killed in their home on January 27, 2001. Suzanne was born in 1945 in Kissingen, Germany. After graduating from high school, she attended the Free University in Berlin, where she majored in Political Science. She moved to the U.S. to attend Stanford University and to pursue a master's degree in political science. It was at Stanford that she met Half. After Half completed his doctorate, he found work in Latin America, and Susanne happily accompanied him there. They were married in Argentina in 1970. They continued to live and work nomadically, in a variety of South American countries and in Africa for a while. During their travels, Suzanne gave birth to two daughters - Veronika and Mariana. After a few years of work in the private sector, Half began considering an academic career. In 1975, the family moved to Germany so he could take a position as a research fellow at the University of Heidelberg. It didn't last long. In 1976, Half was hired by Dartmouth College, and the family headed to the U.S. Back in the United States, with her daughters in school, Suzanne decided she was ready for a career. She earned a master's degree in comparative literature at the University of Massachusetts, and was subsequently accepted into a doctoral program at Harvard. In 1984, she got her PhD in German and Spanish. She was soon hired by Dartmouth to teach German and comparative literature. WiG continues to commemorate Susanne with the Zantop Graduate Student Travel Award offered to two students each year. https://wig-herstory.com/files/original/d24c8a8f4105e12369e3ba15b6f1d424.png c5c0f3aab7c31c0b513e628b1bb246ee Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource In Memory of Martha Wallach Subject The topic of the resource Obituaries; College teachers; Women--Societies and clubs Description An account of the resource We fondly remember one of our early Women in German members, Martha Kaarsberg Wallach, Professor Emeritus of Modern Languages at Central Connecticut State University, who died a year ago, on February 28, 2017, at the age of 85. She was a wonderful, outgoing person, with a great sense of humor and curiosity. No surprise that she excelled in hilarious performances as a member oft the WIG cabaret. Her talent as a natural story teller was legendary, and her tales were often very funny, even when speaking of hardships, or tragedy—for instance, the flight of her family from wartime Poland, the death of her husband and her eldest son, her serious illnesses. She saw the world critically but also in a positive light. Her life centered on meaningful activity and purpose. Thus, she completed her Ph.D. while raising three children as a single mother after divorcing her first husband. She became a full professor, as well as Chair of Modern Languagaes at Central Connecticut State University and was honored as the first female recipient with the distinguished Central Connecticut State Professorship in October 1998. Her students meant the world to her. She was deeply involved in research projects, in establishing scholarly exchanges with Germany, and she was active in many professional organizations. As topics for her publications she favoured women’s studies subjects. Even years after retiring from her position at the university she worked on a book that was published in the year 2000.
