In Memoriam
Longtime faculty member and retired professor emeritus Dr. David M. Dean passed away on June 14.
Dr. Dean's academic career was centered at Frostburg State University from 1972 until his retirement in 2013. During his tenure, he served as chair of the Department of History for seven years and was recognized for his exceptional contributions to the University with the inaugural Faculty Development Award for Excellence in Teaching. He also received the Faculty Development Award for Scholarship on two occasions.
A respected historian and author, Dr. Dean wrote two peer-reviewed books and co-authored Allegany County: A History. His commitment to education extended beyond Frostburg through four U.S. Fulbright Fellowships, the highest number awarded to any Frostburg State University faculty member, allowing him to teach internationally while representing the University's academic excellence abroad.
In remembrance of alumni and friends of the University whose lives and contributions helped shape the Frostburg State community.
