“Complete AU man” retires
For many decades, Arthur Harris has been “a complete AU man,” in the words of Lawrence Ward, assistant dean, Kogod. The longtime Kogod undergraduate counselor, who is now retiring, started working at AU 35 years ago, not long after graduating from the school himself. Not only did he earn his bachelor’s at AU, he also found time to earn master’s degrees in history and education.
“Arthur’s body of work in higher education is nothing short of remarkable,” Ward says. “He is a true student champion and has made tremendous personal contributions to the growth and success of Kogod’s undergraduate program and to AU.”
Harris worked in the Office of Admissions from 1970 to 1981 and then served in the Kogod School of Business until January of this year. A special reception to honor his service to AU was held on Thursday, March 23, in the Kogod Undergraduate Lounge.
Notes of congratulations or appreciation can be addressed to Harris in care of the Office of Undergraduate Programs, Kogod 106. All correspondence will be collected and sent to him.
Ward says, “His genuine love of students and active concern for their development and well-being will serve as a lasting model for professional advisors for many years to come.” —SA |
