She taught and inspired hundreds of students and was a leader in the field of cardiorespiratory research. She chaired many committees in the School of Physical Therapy, and served as Acting Director of the School in 2012-13. Following that assignment, she was Chair of the MPT program, and most recently, was Chair of the Student Affairs Committee. Through it all, Deb was a calm, thoughtful, and important part of the School and Faculty who will be missed by many.
