Remembering Oliveann Slotta

Oliveann always made the world a better place by her presence and actions in it. In her work with the ICA she set up the first Town Meeting in Ohio and facilitated many more. Through project learning as a teacher she tenaciously worked to ensure high school students had positive images of themselves and the relevanace of math in their lives.  The Disney Foundation recognized this work by awarding her the National Teacher of the Year. And most recently she has pioneered in catalyzing teams to offer Climate Action Forums in Denver and Boulder.  Oliveann passed away on May 3, 2021, and will be long remembered by her colleagues as an inspiration in her love of life, and the way she cared for others and the planet.
