I got word today that Jill Walker Robinson, my former boss at the Pomona College Office of Communications, died on November 17 while traveling in Texas. She was 44. I only worked under her for a semester before she left Pomona to start her own publishing company, but I will be eternally grateful for her support and guidance during that time. She was a great mentor, a great friend and a great person.
Here's the story from News 8 in Austin.

Travis,
My name is Sulipsa Luque. I am one of Jill's many friends. I just came across your blog while searching for her publications. I wanted to thank you for taking a minute to honor Jill and saying such kind words. Students and mentoring was such an important part of her life. She always found inspiration, strength and fun in working with all of you. So whenever you run into other student workers, remember to let them know how special each one of you were to her. Thank you for playing a part in making my friend's quality of life joyous. Just as she touched your life you touched hers.
