IN MEMORIAM 馃晩
Tim Kelly passed away on Nov. 7 after a two-year-long battle with brain cancer. Tim worked at Stockton for 20 years as a communications professional and was an original member of the External Affairs department. He was the founding editor of , which later became Stockton News you are reading now.
Rob Gregg, dean of the School of General Studies and Graduate Education, shared the following message on his passing:
Tim Kelly will indeed be much missed. While working at Stockton he had an incredible impact helping our reputation to grow throughout the region. It was he, after all, who came up with the slogan, 鈥淎n Environment for Excellence,鈥 which is still to be seen on the wall in front of the entrance to the Campus Center.
One thing that is little known about Tim is the way in which he involved himself in all aspects of the Stockton community. This didn鈥檛 mean just attending events, which he did, of course; it meant also taking our G courses as a [non-matriculated] student. During his early years at Stockton he constantly took courses, obviously to educate himself fully, but also to understand our 91视频 and faculty and what animated them.
I was very sad to see Tim leave Stockton. He was a great student, colleague, and friend 鈥 and, in his own way, a teacher of human decency and engagement. I am now even sadder to learn of his succumbing to a long battle with cancer. A terrible loss to his family and the community to which he contributed so much.
