[CCoE Notice] Memorial Service for Professor Dave Zimmerman

[Dean Joseph Tedesco]

Dear Cullen College Faculty, Staff and Students,

 

The unexpected loss of Professor Dave Zimmerman this week has deeply
affected our Cullen College family. Beyond his numerous academic and
research accomplishments, he was an incredibly kind and sincere individual.
His care and mentorship of our junior faculty and students throughout his
career will never be forgotten. He was a true leader and friend, and he will
be greatly missed.

 

Dave's obituary is below, as are the details about this weekend's memorial
service. His family has set up a memorial fund in his name for those wishing
to make a donation.
