Hudelson, who spent over 20-years as a professor in the Office Systems
Administration department at Edison State, was selected for her
unwavering devotion to students. Her high standards produced students
with the skills and professionalism that enabled them to secure great
employment opportunities. Hudelson gracefully maintained a wonderful
rapport with her students, while at the same time, upholding the
integrity of her program.

Edison State’s first full time faculty members and has remained
dedicated to the school even in retirement. Johnson made it a priority
to hold himself and colleagues accountable to ensure students who took
classes at Edison State received the best instruction possible.
The Wall of Memories, established in 1998 by members of the Academic
Forum, is dedicated to former Edison State employees who significantly
impacted the lives of students, faculty, and staff who will forever be
recognized as part of the college community.
