Hillgren, Ph.D. Jim encouraged me to recommit to my studies and to finish school at a very busy time in my personal life and career. More than encourage, he made it possible for me to take the time from work to accomplish this goal so that my husband and children wouldn't feel the impact or lose time with me. Jim was an accomplished man and a leader. He was able to bring out the best in everyone he touched. He was calm, nurturing, optimistic, and funny, yet still challenging. Our world was forever changed when we lost Jim to pancreatic cancer on October 30, 2011. However, the legacy of man like Jim cannot be measured in numbers or time… his impact is so much bigger than that. I am only one of many, many examples of how Jim changed the lives of those around him for the better.
