In Memoriam
Over the past twelve months, the industry has said goodbye to three stalwarts who made an indelible mark on the lives of thousands of students and the colleagues who cherished them as thought partners, change makers, champions and friends.
We celebrate the lives of
Laurie (Stewart) Hietanen (June 2023)
| Laurie began her journey in GME at the Tepper School at Carnegie Mellon University- first as a student, then in student affairs and finally admissions. After serving more than 20 years there (many as a primary rep to GMAC), she joined the Forte Foundation as the Director of School Relations. It was a great role for he, not just because of her conviction of the power of the MBA or her passion for elevating women through business degrees. But because she befriended everyone she met. She was a problem solver with a delightful sense of humor- who quickly became the “big sister” when navigating tours or office politics. She requested that Forte receive memorial contributions in her name. |
Verna Supel (November 2023)
| Verna spent more than 30 years loving and leading the students at Howard University, serving as the Director of the MBA Program before her passing in November of last year. Her colleagues and students describe her as a dedicated and extraordinary servant leader, and those in the industry who knew her would say that though often quiet- she was a fountain of wisdom- generous in encouragement, smiles and hugs. Verna served as the GMAC rep for more than a decade and if she missed you at the GMAC conference in June, you could always find her at NBMBAA in September. The development office at Howard University is working on establishing a scholarship in her memory. |
Christopher E Storer (April 2024)
| Chris’ passion for higher education led him to become a part of the recruitment and admissions programs at Brandeis University, Harvard University, Boston University and George Washington University. During his time at GW, he served as the primary representative where he was often tapped by GMAC to present or participate on committees and panels. After leaving the University, he continued his stint in management education as the global head of events for QS (Quacquarelli Symonds) - and though he was based in London, he was always just a phone call or email away. Chris was a lover of music; thus, his family has launched a scholarship in his name. You can donate online at Fredonia.edu/give/form. Please reference the Storer Family Music Education Scholarship in Memory of Christopher Eric Storer. |
