In Memoriam
DONNA COGHILL 1956-2025



It is with great sadness and heavy hearts that we mourn the passing of Donna Coghill, our beloved and indefatigable administrator whom many in our community knew so well.
Donna retired in 2021 after dedicating herself to the students of the Institute for more than 20 years. While she was working here she was a tireless advocate and a dear friend and trusted advisor to students, faculty, and staff alike. The Institute of Political Economy would be a very different place today (if it existed at all) without all of her work. We will deeply miss her banter, her wit, her commitment, and her guidance.

Donna was of course an avid gardener and the family has asked trees and flowers to be planted in her memory.
