I had this woman, Dr. Bannan as a professor! She was such a delight! She encouraged me so much! I am so sad to just be learning of her passing, upon looking her up. Peace and blessings to her family! She is remembered also by her students!
ReplyDeleteShe was an amazing Professor and Human Being.
ReplyDeleteI remember this delightful professor, the very first I ever encountered as a freshman at DePaul University in 1978. I still remember the paper I wrote in her criminology course on Robert Sutherland's "Differential Association" theory and her amazing knowledge of the juvenile justice system. On acceptance to several law schools, she advised me to attend the University of Notre Dame despite having earned a full scholarship to Loyola and DePaul. I followed her spot on advice and never looked back. My memories of Doctor Bannan shall last a lifetime. Little did I know, until after graduation, that I grew up about 4 miles northeast of where she lived in Evanston for many years. There will never be another quite like her. God rest her soul.
