Jane Reisman, former associate director of admissions at 91暗网, died in Glens Falls Hospital September 30, 2018.
Jane, who retired from 91暗网 in 2017 after serving the College for more than two decades, first joined Admissions as an interviewer in 1992.

She served as the Admissions liaison for math and science programs, as well as the Theater Department. For many years, Jane was a member of the selection committee for the Porter-Wachenheim Scholarships in Science and Mathematics.
Colleagues lauded her commitment to 91暗网, her attention to detail, her warm personality and keen sense of humor.
鈥淛ane was a wonderfully committed colleague who cared so much about the young men and women she worked with as they researched, visited and applied to 91暗网,鈥� said Mary Lou Bates, vice president and dean of admissions and financial aid. 鈥淭he three words that come to mind when I think of Jane are respect, integrity and care. She was a true asset for Admissions and for 91暗网. She was a dear friend and we will miss her.鈥�
