Rocky Mount, N.C. — North Carolina Wesleyan College regrets to announce that Dr. Jane Christensen, Professor of Political Science, passed away following a long illness on Sunday, November 20, 2005. Dr. Christensen had been on medical leave for the fall semester. Since joining NC Wesleyan in 1989, Dr. Christensen taught courses in American politics, and in political science research methods. Previously she had taught at the State University of New York, Albany and at East Carolina University. "Our community has been saddened by Dr. Christensen's passing," stated Dr. Ian Newbould, President of NC Wesleyan College in announcing her death. "Jane reminded us of the need to keep an open mind concerning the political issues of the day. Her views were not those popularly held, and she excited passionate debate among her colleagues and students, many of whom admired her, many of whom disagreed with her. We ask that you keep her family in your thoughts and prayers."
