Memories of Marc Richards being gathered for May 4 tribute

A tribute to Marc Richards will be held at 11 a.m. Saturday, May 4, in Viking Union Room 565 to remember and honor his life. All are invited.

But we need your help! The WWU Alumni Association is gathering memories, stories and favorite conversations of this beloved professor who passed away too soon. In his 15-year career at WWU, Richards taught more than 8,000 students and was regarded as one of Western’s most popular professors.

He passed away April 9 after a short battle with cancer. He maintained his sense of humanity, love of nature and humor to the end. He was an inspiration with intention and meaning, and the Alumni Association would like to gather memories to be displayed for his tribute.

Share your thoughts here before the deadline at noon Friday, May 3.
