Professor Richard Marshall passed away.
Professor Richard Marshall passed away.
Professor Marshall was admired and loved for his straight shooting philosophy that inspired students to try harder and encouraged them to scramble up the academic ladder. He loved to mix his work with real life stories to keep students engaged.
Many days as he passed by our Circulation Desk, he would stop to relate a new story about teaching. Hardly a visit went by that a student would stop, look right at Richard with great admiration and shake hands. The student would tell him a story about how much he/she enjoyed one of Richard’s life lessons.
The book Who
Moved My Cheese was one of his class favorites. He made sure we always
had an ample supply of books for students.
The library hosted his classes in our Gallery with books and real pieces
of cheese for snacks. This was definitely a big hit with the students.
To Kill a Mockingbird
LLRC-Gallery
The tables were decorated with shoes from all walks of life to illustrate when Atticus tells the children several times that they need to walk in someone else’s shoes before judging.
Constitution Week!

It was always a pleasure to see Richard for the scheduled Instructional Lab with one of our Reference Librarians for each of his Strategies classes that included a tour of each department. He worked closely with our library staff to promote learning and skill building for his students especially in the area of research. Richard was always the first one to say YES to a library event!
All of us here at the library will miss Richard very much; his professionalism, his passion for teaching, his big sincere smile and especially his hearty laugh. Goodbye Professor Marshall. We miss you!
