In memory of Jenny Carpenter

In+memory+of+Jenny+Carpenter

Jenny Carpenter, a long-time beloved teacher in Lakeland College’s English Language Institute (ELI), lost her battle with cancer on Nov. 7. ​ Jenny not only taught in the ELI during the year, she also taught in, and in recent years helped to run, the Summer ELI program for our sister schools. She made learning English fun. Hundreds of international students have been influenced by Jenny’s warm personality and dedicated teaching. She was always willing to listen, to share a laugh and to relate or hear a story. Lakeland students, faculty, staff and students of our sister schools involved in the summer program will always be grateful to have had Jenny as part of our lives. Lakeland College Chaplain Rob Sizemore and ELI Director Timothy Fojtik hosted a memorial service in the Ley Chapel on Tuesday, Dec. 2 in order for the LC community to celebrate our memories of Jenny.
