Altschuler taught at Williams from 1985 until her retirement in 2014. She was active in the college community, teaching in Williams’ summer program for teachers and in a Howard Hughes Medical Institute-funded program for high school students. Even after a diagnosis of multiple sclerosis, she maintained her energy and was known for zipping around campus on her red Segway. “It was a privilege to have known her as a colleague and a friend,” says Hank Art, director of the Environmental Studies Program and Rosenburg Professor of Environmental Studies and Biology, emeritus.
