Lawrence University of Appleton is mourning the recent passing of one of its faculty members.
The university has announced that 52-year-old Associate Professor Danielle Joyner passed away on March 20th in New York City due to cardiac arrest.
At the time of her passing, Joyner was accompanying Lawrence students on a spring break trip.
Joyner, who joined the university faculty in 2018, was an Associate Professor of art history. Provost Peter Blitstein described her as “an incredibly accomplished teacher and scholar, Danielle was a fierce advocate for her students, her colleagues, and everything related to medieval studies. She was very kind and sought out meaningful connections with people all across our campus. Losing Danielle is heartbreaking for our community.”
Lawrence University has noted that a memorial service to bring the campus community together in celebrating Joyner’s life is in the process of being planned, and further details will be provided once they are available.
