Dr. Sandy Mitchell taught biology at Western for 28 years but passed away on May 8, 2017, from breast cancer. She was highly revered and loved by Western students and faculty alike. There are many accounts of Mitchell having a long-lasting impact on people’s lives. In honor of the lasting impact, she had on so many lives, a group of students created the event in her honor.
