by Michelle Saport |
Cecile Mitchell passed away last Thursday after a courageous battle with cancer. Cecile dedicated 39 years in service to UAA's students as director of admission, international student advisor and many other roles, retiring in June 2012. Of her many accomplishments, Cecile championed UAA's study abroad and National Student Exchange programs creating new opportunities and experiences Alaskans. Her passion for students was tremendous and, in the words of a colleague, "her smile could warm your heart on the coldest winter day." The family is planning a small private service.
