In Memoriam Allan Lerner, 1947-2011

We regret to announce that the former director of the Office of International Affairs at UIC, Dr. Allan Lerner, passed away this week after a long illness. Dr. Lerner served as a professor and administrator at UIC since 1977, ending his career as the Associate Provost for International Affairs, a position he held for over 10 years. Through his position in OIA he led collaborations in research, education and public service. We look forward to the continued growth of our partnerships, which were established under Dr. Lerner's guidance.

Ceremony to be held on November 4th at 3:00p.m in the Dean's Room, in the first floor of the Behavioral Sciences Building
