Our condolences
It is with great sadness that faculty, staff and students at Martin Luther University College received word this morning of the passing of Leanne Holland Brown, dean of students at Wilfrid Laurier University’s campus in Waterloo.
Kristine Lund, Luther’s assistant principal and clinical director of the Delton Glebe Counselling Centre, said Holland Brown was a close friend of Luther and the counselling centre.
“Leanne brightened the atmosphere wherever she went on campus,” Lund said. “We offer deep condolences to her husband and children, her family and friends, and to our Laurier colleagues who worked closely with her. We will keep them all in our prayers in the coming days.
“Leanne was a wonderful, supportive colleague who looked for creative possibilities to support students’ wellness,” added Lund.
