(Community Matters) Good gosh, I’d woken up completely forgetting that our dear friend, Leslie Jarmon is leaving the hospital to rest 
with her family. Very sad; she’s not responding to treatment for cancer.
Leslie is an extraordinary woman. I must stop by the hospital this morning on my way to the airport.
Leslie’s work was recently featured in the AAS story about UT’s adoption of Second Life for cross-campus collaborations. She worked closely with Steven in creation and execution of the UT MBA Plus Program and taught highly-coveted, problem-based learning graduate courses. She was also an early & extraordinarily enthusiastic Obama supporter. She traveled the country campaigning for his election in the primary and general election. I’m so thankful she rode out with us to the exotic game ranch recently, so privileged she prioritized attending the event even while in treatment.
Leslie’s been a fierce warrior against her cancer for a very long time. She wrote her dissertation while undertaking her first round of treatment. She likes noting that hers was the very first electronic copy dissertation submitted to UT, possibly in the country.
