Ms. Anne Spencer (MA 1981)

     As a part-time mature student at UW, Anne Spencer (MA 1981) had a hectic schedule. “I was teaching full time during the day and did not have much energy left over after graduate classes to participate in university activities.” She knew only a few of her classmates; however, “I valued the opportunity to attend Professor Hibbard's classes and to have him supervise my graduate studies… I have not encountered anyone of his calibre since.” Anne recently won a CBC sonnet-writing contest and thinks that Dr. Hibbard would have been pleased with her accomplishment.

     Towards the end of her career, Anne taught at a school in Waterloo. She also spent some time as a freelance writer. She is now retired and has been able to publish more since.

     Her sons are also graduates of UW who studied computer science many years ago.
