What have we learned from the life of Denice Denton?(THE LAST LAUGH)
In July I attended a symposium at the University of Wisconsin celebrating the life of a remarkable women, Denice Denton, whose leadership and support of women in science and engineering touched the lives of thousands of women on campus.
Chancellor of the University of California Santa Cruz, she died last year in late June, after a plunge off a San Francisco high-rise apartment building.
She was a force whose passion and intelligence, wit and wonder made the rest of us look like slackers. She shared her skills through mentoring, creating special programs and using guerilla tactics to extend her influence. (Details next month.)
Her passion was to figure out what was not right with a system, and find out who had the power to fix it or find some other way to correct it.

Always the 'other'
As a symposium speaker pointed out, Denton was always the "other," the outsider in a world of good old boys.
