Kathy Guilfoyle, Assistant Director at Southern Illinois University (Carbondale), passed away last August 2003 after a long struggle with cancer.

“During her 25 years with us, Kathy worked in a variety of capacities that included aquatics, sport clubs, fitness/personal training, instructional programs and camps, just to name a few. Kathy will always be remembered as someone that was very committed to student development from both an employee and participant perspective. She founded our adventure resource center in 1977, and it has grown every year since. She also started our camps program some 15 years ago, and it is now one of the largest camp programs on campus. Kathy was highly respected by the entire University community and will always be missed,” says Bill McMinn, Director Intramural-Rec Sports.
