On Friday, April 12, 2024, Dr. Teresa Finken passed away peacefully at her home in Iowa City, IA. A Celebration of Life open house will be held at The Heights Rooftop in Iowa City on June 8, 2024, from 2-5pm. Instead of flowers, please send a donation to Tapestry Farms, a local nonprofit Teresa donated her time and resources to.
Teresa made a significant impact by serving as ICTM’s Post-Secondary Vice President and overseeing the management of the journal for ICTM. She dedicated numerous hours to reviewing, editing, and writing articles for the journal. ICTM honored her at the 2023 Fall Conference with the Lifetime Achievement Award. It is with this same dedication in mind that ICTM is reintroducing the journal in a revised format, known as ICTM Journal 2.0.
Please take some time to share a memory on the Tribute wall.
