Gibbs Smith Education is saddened to announce the passing of our President and Publisher, Elizabeth “Liz” Wallace, on May 27, 2026, from complications with breast cancer.
Liz began working at Gibbs Smith Education (GSE) in December 2018 as Managing Editor and Curriculum Director. She worked in various editorial and leadership roles before becoming President and Publisher in November 2024.
Liz was a fierce proponent of education. She believed in providing accurate, well-rounded, and multi-perspective narratives. Her goal was to create resources that made the lives and jobs of educators easier while ensuring students learn and appreciate the rich and diverse stories of the past.
She will be deeply missed by all those at Gibbs Smith and Gibbs Smith Education.
