Dedication to Professor Julie Haupt:



Julia Dawn Harris Haupt, our dear mother, sister, teacher, colleague, confidant, and friend, passed away suddenly on Tuesday the 12th of January, 2021. Julie leaves behind a legacy of love, compassion, friendship, diligence, and hope to all who knew her. Julie was kind, wise, and down-to-earth. She spent her life as an educator and a teacher in all aspects of her life, whether in her family, with her friends, in her career, or in her many other efforts to serve others. Her focus was on the well-being of others and how to best love, serve, and teach them. Julie’s willingness to follow the promptings of the Holy Spirit helped her change countless lives for the better.

Dr. Melanie Serrao-Hill grew up in Hawaii and then moved to Provo to complete her bachelors degree here at BYU. After graduating with her Bachelors degree in Human Development, she decided to pursue a masters degree as well as a PhD doing research centered around older adults. 

Dr. Hill now teaches adult development and aging in the family which is available for any undergraduate student to take.
