15 years ago today, the CPO lost an important member of our family, founding director of the Writing Success Program, Janet Brown.

Read excerpts of a 2019 WSP interview with the current director of the CPO, Antonio Sandoval, where he remembers Janet Brown and her ever lasting legacy. "Janet was a kind person, she was always looking for ways to support the people around her. She loved readings, lectures, and she loved to speak about the different religions. She was fundamentally progressive. She believed herself to be a feminist. She rejected all forms of oppressions. For her, everyone was family."
