WARM REMEMBRANCES

Online memorials were going strong Friday. Friends and students took to the "Remembering Joel Olson" Facebook page in addition to his personal page to eulogize the professor:

-- Kara Stone: "No words can express just how deeply Joel's loss is felt by all who knew him. He was a fantastic person to work with, always kind and thoughtful and fair-minded. His love for his beautiful family was evident to everyone around him. And his passion for his job is what makes him a legend at NAU."

-- Courtney Bellio: "He was the best professor I've had in college. He was the reason I majored in political science, and he inspired me every day in class."

-- Adrienne Martin: "Joel Olson was one of the greatest professors I have ever had the honor of studying under. He has impacted my life in such a profound way that words cannot describe. Thank you Joel for changing my life and for inspiring me, thank you for being you. You are extremely missed and NAU will never be the same."
