Dear Evergreen Community,
It is with a deep sense of loss that we write to share news that Evergreen faculty emerita, Dr. Maxine Buie Mimms, passed away peacefully yesterday morning. Maxine joined Evergreen as a Member of the Faculty in 1972 and retired in 1992. Her contribution is a signal and legacy here at Evergreen. Her contributions to the Olympia campus covered a range of issues. As part of her passion of making a college education available to everyone, especially historically underrepresented communities like her neighbors in the heart of Tacoma’s Hilltop neighborhood, Dr. Mimms founded and served as the founding director of Evergreen’s Tacoma Campus.
Dr. Mimms remained an active mentor and supporter of Evergreen Tacoma, and the broader South Sound African American community until her death. Her counsel was sought at all levels of her community to the end of her long, remarkable life.
We express our sincere condolences to Dr. Mimms' three children, Theodore, Tonie, and Kenneth; her two grandchildren, Elyse and Chantel; and her great-grandchild, Genesis, along with her colleagues and her expansive community of friends and former students. Even as we do so, we embrace Maxine’s sense of being in the world, and her instruction to us that rather than mourn her loss, we should celebrate and extend her legacy of making education broadly available to historically under-represented people, like the ones who joined her at her kitchen table, in the early seventies, as the class that would become Evergreen Tacoma. Her work lives on in Evergreen Tacoma's deep commitment to Evergreen's approach of making interdisciplinary, liberal arts education available to all communities. And finally, we remember her insistence that we must learn to laugh and to have fun learning.
We will share information about ways to remember Maxine when it becomes available.
Sincerely,
John Carmichael, President
Noah Coburn, Provost and Vice President for Academics
