Sandy Gault, formerly of the University of Missouri-Kansas City, died on September 8 after a long battle with liver disease. She was a beloved force in international admissions, and will be surely missed. Here some thoughts from people who knew her:
Sandy Gault was an exceptional person among us, and I am very much saddened at her passing. The memories I have of Sandy over the years are ones filled with laughter and fun as well as hard work. As “iron sharpens iron”, she tempered me with her professionalism, intellect and common sense. In the days when Sandy and I were both very active in NAFSA, someone commented that we appeared to be joined at the hip. I can’t think of a better person to be closely associated with. Sandy, I’ll miss you…dear colleague, dear friend.
Robert Prather, TAICEP Executive Director
Sandy was a force of nature. She had a quiet, gentle voice that commanded attention. She had a wicked sense of humor, especially when it came to others in the profession. I was so sad to hear that she has left this world.
Kate Freeman, SpanTran: The Evaluation Company
It is probably not widely known that Sandy was an early advocate and supporter of the idea that became known as TAICEP. She was one of a small group that came together and generated many of the ideas that were core to our goals and values. Sadly, she was not in a position to be active in the association, but we all have her to thank for being a consummate professional with the vision to see the need. True to her gentle and unassuming nature, she cared for and supported the profession in a way that has benefited all of us.
Margit Schatzman – Educational Credential Evaluators/ECE
Sandy was smart, diplomatic, energetic, insightful and a workhorse! Her family and dogs meant the world to her. She was soft spoken, but her words were powerful.
