Dear all,

With a profound sorrow, I am to report that Jeff Remmel passed away
suddenly on Friday morning. He had a massive heart attack and could not be
revived. He has been a member of our Department since 1974. In addition to
a distinguished research career in several areas and advising many doctoral
students, Jeff has served the campus with distinction in many
administrative areas--first as Chair of our Department, and then as
Associate Dean of Physical Sciences (in clouding the interim Dean for
2016-2017) for 16 years. He has actively collaborated with colleagues
around the world.

An obituary is in the process. A memorial service will be planned later in
the academic year, which will be announced in due time.

In the next message I will send the resources available for faculty, staff,
students who are in needs of counseling.

Lei
