IN MEMORIAM - TONY WALDROP

“It is with great sadness that I announce the passing of Dr. Tony Waldrop. Before serving on the Dean’s Advisory Council, Dr. Waldrop was President of South Alabama University, Provost at the University of Central Florida, and Vice President of Research at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. I first met Tony in 1991 and he has been a true mentor to me over the decades and an individual of high integrity and intelligence who always supported education and the search for truth. He will be missed as a member of the DAC, but more importantly he will be missed as a friend and colleague.”

— Gregory Hand, dean, College of Health Professions
