Christine L. Wells, 80, died on February 20, 2019. She received a Bachelor's degree from the University of Michigan, a Master's degree from Smith College, and a Ph.D. degree from the Pennsylvania State University. She completed a 2-year Post-Doctoral Fellowship at the University of California at Santa Barbara. Her teaching career spanned many years and many levels beginning with middle school in Grosse Pointe, Michigan in 1959, and continuing at Smith College, Dalhousie University (Nova Scotia, Canada), Temple University (Philadelphia), and culminating as a full Professor at ASU in 1997. She was instrumental in establishing new degree programs in physical education, wellness education, and exercise science (Kinesiology). Chris was the writer of more than 100 research papers and reviews, and the author of three books: The Environment and Human Performance (with Emily Haymes); Women, Sport and Performance: A Physiological Perspective (2 editions; translated into Spanish, Korean and Japanese); and a trade book Healthy Hearts, Healthy Women. She held many elected professional offices often being the first woman in those positions, and received many national level awards such as The Wonder Woman Award, the Billie Jean King Award (Women's Sports Foundation), the Alumni Fellow Award (Penn State University), Distinguished Alumna of the University of Michigan College of Education, and the Citation Award of the American College of Sports Medicine. Chris played all sorts of sports prior to Title IX, took up bicycling and running in her 40s and was nationally ranked in Biathlon (cycling and running) and Triathlon (swimming, cycling and running). She is preceded in death by her parents and her life partner, Anita Notdurft Hopkins (who died in 2002). Please do not send flowers. Chris would rather that donations be made to the Western Environmental Law Center or the HealthWell Foundation. A celebration of her life is planned for the spring. (Source: ASU Foundation)
