2. University mourns the death of Cynthia (Cindy) Zautcke-Ostermeyer

Marquette University mourns the death of Cynthia (Cindy) Zautcke-Ostermeyer, policy analyst in the Institute for the Transformation of Learning. Zautcke-Ostermeyer died June 4 of complications from a rare form of lymphoma. An education advocate, Zautcke-Ostermeyer's work helped pave the way for charter schools to be a permanent part of education in Wisconsin, according to a Milwaukee Journal Sentinel obituary.

Zautcke-Ostermeyer formerly taught at Grand Alternative High School and helped found El Puente High School for at-risk students. She joined the Institute for the Transformation of Learning in 1997, where she worked with Dr. Howard Fuller, one of her mentors and the founder of the institute.

A public memorial service is planned for Sunday, July 13, at 3 p.m. at University School of Milwaukee. A donation fund in her name has been set up at the school to assist Milwaukee students who otherwise would not be able to attend the school.

Please remember Zautcke-Ostermeyer, her family and friends in prayer.
