Wheelock College student happy to be on Riverway to start her fall classes
In Honor of Gwen Morgan ’76MS Message from President Jackie Jenkins-Scott: It is with great sadness that I announce the passing of our beloved [Gwen Morgan ’76MS], a longtime respected member of the Wheelock community and a national leader in early education and child care. Gwen passed away [Friday, Sept. 4, 2015] at her home in Lincoln, MA, at age 90. An inspirational visionary who just never gave up her fight for quality early education, Gwen advocated for every child having high-quality and affordable early education and care. She supported the cause for every practitioner to receive excellent professional development and be compensated adequately. In 1972, Gwen joined Wheelock College as a faculty member, and her great impact has been felt ever since. This same year, she pioneered the coordination of and improvements to services for children in the Commonwealth as the first Director of the Massachusetts Office for Children. From 1991 to 2004, Gwen was the Director of the Center for Career Development in Early Care and Education at Wheelock. The Center helped numerous states develop professional development systems. Additionally, she ran the highly respected summer program for child care center directors based on research and business management training. Gwen was an amazing and inspirational leader and friend to many at Wheelock and throughout the early childhood community. She leaves a legacy of quality early education and care for all children that will continue to impact future generations. I was honored to meet Gwen shortly after arriving at Wheelock. She was a trusted advisor who was always available to everyone in our community. Many faculty and staff found their way to the Brookline Campus to seek Gwen’s advice and support. We are grateful that she served the College for nearly five decades. She will truly be missed. I was fortunate to have known her. Gwen is the epitome of a life lived in support of Wheelock’s mission to improve the lives of children and families during her many decades of impacting policy and practice. I hope that the many who knew her from the Wheelock community, and those who were inspired by her, will continue to support her legacy by advancing the work she spent her entire professional career pursuing. A Remembrance with Love and Gratitude On Oct. 23, 2015, the Wheelock community gathered for a memorial service for Gwen in the living room at 43 Hawes Street, where President Jackie Jenkins- Scott offered opening and closing remarks. Cheryl Render Brown, Wheelock College associate professor of Early Childhood Education; Joyce Butler ’73, member of the Wheelock College Board of Trustees; and Amy O’Leary of Early Education for All, and a Wheelock adjunct faculty member, offered moving tributes. And finally, Leland Clarke ’75, associate professor of Arts, played “It Is Well with My Soul” on the piano. <strong>magazine</strong>
