In Memoriam Trudis Heineke

The following is a January 11, 2011 resolution of the Board of Directors of the Society for College and University Planning.

To Family, Friends, and Colleagues of Trudis Heinecke,

Every professional society has a small group of members who personify the best of what that society represents and offers. For the Society for College and University Planning, Trudy Heinecke was one of those members.

For more than 25 years, Trudy actively worked to make SCUP the best that it could be. She served as a regional representative, on the Editorial Review Board for our journal, Planning for Higher Education, on the Sustainability Task Force, as an active member of the Facilities Planning Academy, on the Nominations Committee, and as our esteemed president from 1997–1998. She received SCUP’s Distinguished Service Award in 2003.

As a result of Trudy’s expertise and dedication, SCUP is a better society. The members who knew and worked with her, benefited from her creativity and enthusiasm. Members who did not have the privilege of knowing Trudy will benefit for years to come from her leadership and hard work on our journal and in our programs.

With respect and love, we honor our colleague, with this tribute to her extraordinary accomplishments and significant contributions to SCUP. The tribute will become part of the official history of SCUP as a special resolution by the SCUP Board of Directors.

Our hearts go out to Trudy’s family, friends, and colleagues. For those of us who knew her, Trudy’s ultimate contribution to life was her warm smile and ready laugh. We share in your grief. She will truly be missed.
