Not many professors or students even remember her.

This is news? The writer ignores some basic facts of the collegiate environment. First, professors meet scores of students every semester and I bet they would be hard pressed to name five of them once the semester ends. In larger universities, some profs may teach one ot two mega classes that have a hundred or more students in each class section. If even if you are teaching two or three smaller classes of 20 or 30 students per semester, how many students will you remember? Also, how people do any of us remember from our college years (i.e. how mnay names of students and profs can we recall)? A dozen? Half dozen? Less?

I was an adjunct instructor in a chemical engineering lab for 6 years. Taught a total of about 100 students during that time. I can recall about a half dozen faces but not a single name.

I taught my last class 4 years ago so I can imagine what it would be like to recall someone from about 20 years ago.
