The Biology Department faculty, staff, and students mourn the loss of their newest faculty member, Dr. Hanna Kolodziejski, who died at the age of 32 at the Dana Farber Cancer Institute in Boston on Feb. 3, 2009. She will be sorely missed.
Dr. Kolodziejski, known to her students as Dr. K, was a brilliant young neuroethologist who had just earned her Ph.D. from Indiana University before accepting the position of Assistant Professor of Biology at Keene State in the fall of 2007. In her short time here, Hanna demonstrated that she was a dedicated and incredibly talented teacher and mentor of undergraduates, as well as a most excellent colleague.
When word of Dr. K’s illness went out last fall, the campus rallied to support her with a remarkably successful bone marrow drive, which registered 195 donors.
We welcome your memorial comments regarding this inspiring teacher. Please use the “comments” link below.

Do you eat meat? Where does it come from? Where does it really come from? You’d be surprised. Michael Pollan made some amazing discoveries about the real ingredients and costs of our food in his book The Omnivore’s Dilemma.
Join KSC professors William Stroup and Mark Timney in the Mountain View Room, Student Center, at 4 p.m. on Monday, February 2, for a panel presentation and discussion on the use of animal flesh as food, and other ideas raised in Pollan’s book. The event is free and open to the public — and there will be refreshments. Just make sure you eat them before you find out what’s in them.
