Certification Program and a guest faculty member for the Laban Certification Program in Berlin. She presented her movement research at medical centers and national and international conferences and was published in several journals. She taught movement analysis workshops and classes in Australia, Brazil, Canada, England, Germany, Mexico, the Netherlands and Switzerland, as well as the U.S.
"She has been a vital force in our lives, working tirelessly to build dance from its beginnings as a program to its current status as a department in the School of the Arts," said Michelle Heffner-Hayes, professor and chair of the department of dance. "Her groundbreaking work in Laban Movement Analysis and the treatment of Parkinson's disease garnered international recognition, but it was her passion for dance at the University of Kansas that made her our champion."
A detective with the New York City Police Department said Hamburg jumped from the 19th floor of a building on East 57th Street. A coroner's report has not yet been released.

Sexuality courses start soon at ECM
EDUCATION
BY SAMANTHA COLLINS scollins@kansan.com
Masturbation, homosexuality and the open discussion of sexual experiences.
Ali Free, a member of the ECM's sexual education committee, said the course's topics were no longer taboo and should never be embarrassing to talk about.
These and similar topics fill the curriculum of a human sexuality course offered at the Ecumenical Christian Ministries, 1204 Oread Ave. Human Sexuality in Everyday Life, for which the ECM suggests students pay $50-100, will be offered every Thursday at 6 p.m., starting tomorrow. Students can register for the class at the ECM anytime before Thursday.
"It's about growing as a sexual human being like as you would in any other way of your life," said Free, a sophomore from Blue Springs, Mo.
"Sex education in schools, if you're lucky enough to get anything, is usually just cold and not personal," Free said.
She said the class taught students the aspects of sex that were never taught in high schools.
Dennis Dailey, a semi-retired professor of social welfare, will teach the nine-session course. He said students needed to understand their sexuality in order to find more self-fillment.
"Most students have zip for sex education," Dailey said. "A lot of them don't have a good, sound understanding of what a healthy, ongoing, meaningful sexual relationship is."
The only sexual education that Chelsea Johnson, a junior from Lawrence, received was from her parents. She said it was awkward because they didn't understand how to teach it. After she attended a human sexuality course at the ECM last year, however, she was able to openly talk about a formerly taboo word: sex.
Johnson said the class "turned out to be the best decision" of her life, teaching her that a person's sexuality affects attitude, self-esteem and interaction among peers.
"I never realized how much sexuality had an impact on my everyday life" Johnson said.
In past years, the course was offered in the spring. Dhyaan Coil, chair of the ECM's sexuality education committee, said the committee made the switch to fall to get students involved early in the year. She said the class also helped students learn how to navigate the many negative aspects of sexuality such as cultural pressures, confining gender roles, the high instances of rape among college populations and the high divorce rate.
"We are hoping it will enrich students' lives by giving them the tools to maintain healthy relationships with themselves and their partners throughout life." Coil said.
