Dear Colleagues,

I share with you sad news from the Department of Curriculum and Instruction.

Randy Goree, a former Senior Lecturer in Curriculum and Instruction at UWM, passed away on February 19. Randy had been with the School of Education in a teaching academic staff position since 1988, before retiring with emeritus status from UWM in 2015.

Michael Steele, Chair of Curriculum and Instruction, said in a message to the Department, that Randy’s  “influence on our department, school, and profession is immeasurable – from courses he designed and taught to students he developed into world-class teachers in our region to the optimism, cheer, and grace that he brought to every interaction with us all.”

A Celebration of Life is being planned, and I will share details as they become available.  Our condolences to Randy’s family and to the many others whose lives he touched.

Take care,

Johannes

Provost and Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs
