The Humphrey Institute's former dean, friend, and mentor, Regents Professor Ed Schuh, passed away over the weekend. He was in the care of family and friends and will be deeply missed. Professor Schuh was well-respected and very accomplished in his career. He was enjoying praises from his most recent honor from the University of Minnesota, the 2008 President's Award for Outstanding Service. This prestigious award is presented each year in the spring and honors those who have gone well beyond their regular duties and have demonstrated an unusual commitment to the University community, an award truly deserved by Professor Schuh.
