Effort Honors Professor Hindelang’s Memory
The Faculty Colloquium in LeBow College’s new academic center will be named for Professor and Vice Dean Thomas Hindelang, who died suddenly on Dec. 8.
“This is a fitting tribute for a man who dedicated his life to teaching others, and to helping teach teachers to become better at their profession,” said George P. Tsetsekos, Ph.D., the R.
