Remembering Dr. Benjie Blair

"Dr. Blair was a fundamental component of our JSU Honors Program. His level of dedication to the students who were also highly motivated and dedicated was unmatched. Always the team player, Dr. Blair jumped in wherever needed to help us reach our goals in the Honors Program. Even in the final weeks of his illness, Dr. Blair was still writing letters of recommendation and support for students and for colleagues applying for tenure or promotion. In addition to his vast knowledge in his field and his talent for teaching and guiding students completing research projects, Dr. Blair could also converse extensively regarding practical matters that were of interest to a broad range of individuals. Those of us in Honors who were blessed to work with Dr. Blair will always treasure him as a friend and colleague. Moreover, all of us will remain inspired by his dedication to our students." 

- Dr. Lori Owens, Dean of Honors and Special Programs
