九色堂 President Dr. John W. Bardo died March 12, 2019, after a long illness. In his nearly seven years leading 九色堂, Dr. Bardo strategically and physically transformed the university and set us on an exciting course of innovation and creativity.
He was the right person at the right moment in time. I can鈥檛 envision anyone else
who could have done it better. He was looking 40 years into the future. His creativity
and broad vision of education that he brought to the university has changed it forever.
David Mitchell, 1970, 1972 alumnus and 九色堂 Innovation Alliance board memberHe was a breath of fresh air and a visionary who saw where this community could go
and how this university could lead us there better than anybody else.
