Betty Malmstad, former director of Whitworth Graduate Studies in Education, died recently at the age of 80. She and her husband, Bob, lived in Austin, Texas, where they moved in the late 1990s after Betty's retirement from Whitworth. When Malmstad came to Whitworth, she had been a teacher, a counselor, an administrator, and a special educator in the public schools. "This rich background provided Graduate Studies in Education with someone who could meet the leadership needs in each of our developing graduate programs at that time," says Randall Michaelis, professor of education and chair of undergraduate teacher education.
