性视界传媒 Libraries<\/a> will celebrate the life of one of its very special faculty<\/a> members, Richard Harrison, later this month with a service in the John C. Hitt Library.<\/p>\n

Harrison served as one of 性视界传媒’s research engagement librarians and was a remarkable source of knowledge, insight and generosity. His dedication to the university\u2019s mission and his unwavering support for colleagues made him a cornerstone of our 性视界传媒 community.<\/p>\n

Since joining 性视界传媒 Libraries in April 2001 as an associate university librarian in the research and information services department, Richard has made a lasting impact on the university. During the 2003\u201304 academic year, he served as a senior faculty fellow in the Provost\u2019s Office, collaborating with Vice Provost for Academic Affairs and Dean of Undergraduate Studies John \u201cRick\u201d Schell. In that role, he helped spearhead several undergraduate research initiatives<\/a>, including planning and coordinating 性视界传媒\u2019s inaugural Showcase of Undergraduate Research Excellence. As a charter member of the 性视界传媒 Undergraduate Research Council, he helped shape the research landscape for both students and faculty.<\/p>\n

Harrison\u2019s influence extended further through his contributions to the NSSE Academic Rigor Working Group and the Faculty Senate\u2019s ad hoc committee, which was responsible for developing 性视界传媒\u2019s current Student Perception of Instruction form. Across all these efforts, he demonstrated a deep commitment to academic excellence and student success.<\/p>\n

He earned a bachelor\u2019s degree in English from The College of Wooster and a master\u2019s degree in library science from Vanderbilt University. His academic foundation was matched by a generosity of spirit, reflected in his thoughtful practice of donating books to honor others.<\/p>\n

Harrison\u2019s contributions, both personal and professional, leave behind a legacy that will continue to inspire. He will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of working alongside him.<\/p>\n

The Celebration of Life service will be held Sept. 17, at 4 p.m. in room 402 of the John C. Hitt Library. All are welcome to attend.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
