In memoriam

Zoë Read, who was in her final year of studies in biology and psychology, died March 13. Zoë was from Salmo, BC, and transferred to UVic in 2005. She was a vibrant young woman who embraced life with an infectious smile and laughter in her eyes. Zoë had an ebullient personality and was ready to explore life and all it had to offer. She was also a dedicated student who immersed herself in her studies. For an instructor, it was a pleasure and a treat to have her as a student. Zoë had an inquisitive mind and always wanted to get to the bottom of things. Even when faced with having to understand complex concepts and having to memorize a lot of details, she never lost her sunny disposition, ready smile and sense of humour. For her colleagues, she will be missed not only as a friend but also as a valued member of study groups, some of which she organized, and as an active contributor to group projects. She touched everyone whom she met and brightened their day. She will be missed dearly by all who knew her.
