# In memoriam

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Cheryl Cameron, a professor in the School of Early Childhood Education.

Cheryl was an exceptional educator whose connection to Seneca — as both a student and a long‑serving faculty member — spanned more than two decades. She was deeply respected by students and colleagues for her unwavering dedication to education, her kindness, and her enduring optimism, even in the face of adversity.

Cheryl’s commitment to her work was evident in all she did. Her dedication created meaningful experiences of countless students, field mentors, and colleagues. Cheryl’s love of life, her generous spirit, and her commitment to excellence created a legacy that will continue to guide and inspire our community.

Seneca will be lowering its flags to half-mast from sunrise until sunset on Thursday, Feb. 26, 2026 to honour Cheryl.
