He taught at Emporia State University in Kansas and at Biological Sciences Curriculum Study in Boulder before coming to Colorado College. Jack\u2019s passion and curiosity led countless students to cultivate their own passion for plants.<\/p>\n<p>Jack was at Colorado College from 1968 to 1994 when he retired.\u00a0During this time, he taught botany for the Biology Department and was in charge of The Carter Herbarium located in Barnes Science Center and dedicated in his honor. Jack was professor and curator of the herbarium from 1968 to 1989.<\/p>\n<p>Jack acknowledged herbaria\u2019s importance, citing how plant collections can help describe the ecological history of an area and help chart the present, past, and potential impact of humans over time. Add in the history of the climate and physical characteristics of the soils and weather, and an herbarium, Jack would note, can be used to help predict the future.<\/p>\n<p>Jack also taught courses in India as part of the Associated Colleges of the Midwest study abroad program and his wife Martha joined him as a mentor on these biology courses. He retired in Silver City, New Mexico, where he continued his work by writing and publishing three books: \u201cTrees and Shrubs of Colorado,\u201d \u201cTrees and Shrubs of New Mexico,\u201d and \u201cCommon Southwestern Native Plants\u201d with the help of other botanists. Jack and Martha established an endowed fund for the college, providing support for the herbarium and for students to conduct ecological and plant conservation research.<\/p>\n<p>In a past <em>Bulletin<\/em>, Jack said, \u201cI want to acknowledge how important the students have been as they became interested in the herbarium, in producing quality herbarium materials, and conducting field research and ecological studies. As I looked over my list of students that I can recall who continued their studies in the plant sciences and ecology to become professors, herbarium curators, plant illustrators, teachers, and outstanding plant science writers, I wish I could thank each of them personally for what they have contributed to my life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Renee Rabinowitz<\/strong>, born on April 7, 1934, passed away in Jerusalem at the age of 86.<\/p>\n<p>Renee was an American-Israeli psychologist and Colorado College\u2019s lawyer for 14 years, from 1986 to 2000, but was best known for suing El Al airlines in 2017 after she was forced to move her seat on a Newark to Tel-Aviv flight when a Haredi Jewish man refused to sit beside her due to his religious beliefs.
