UIW Unsung Hero

Meet Lorraine Ewers, Administrative Assistant to the Dean of CHASS. Lorraine was born in St. Louis, Missouri and has worked at UIW for 36 years. In that time, Lorraine has been quick to adapt to many challenges and changes without missing a beat.

When asked what she loves most about UIW, Lorraine said, "While we have grown, we are still a family."

Dr. Stefanie Boswell, Associate Professor of Psychology, said of Lorraine, "She is the heartbeat of CHASS and works tirelessly to serve students and help us serve students."

When she's not busy making a difference at UIW (which is not often), Lorraine enjoys knitting. Be sure to stop by and give a big thanks to Lorraine for her 36 years of dedicated service to UIW!
