阿拉巴马州立大学哀悼前总统的路过，克利福德C.贝克博士

由Lois Russell.

前阿拉巴马州立大学校长Clifford C. Baker博士，于2019年11月3日星期日在延长疾病后离开。

贝克于1991年至1994年担任大学的第9届总统。

着名的教育者从ASU获得了两度的两度：1954年的数学科学学士学位和1956年的教育硕士学位。他于1973年赢得了奥本大学的教育博士。

在ASU的任期之前，Baker在各个层面的教育者有一个杰出的职业生涯，包括课堂教练，两所学校系统，头部启动计划总监和校长。

在州立一级，巴克于1976年至1989年担任助理国家主管，这是一项任命，标志着当时阿拉巴马州国家教育部有史以来的最高职位。

当贝克退休后成为他的母校总统时，该大学经历了前所未有的增长，包括商业管理学院（COBA），社会工作计划的重新认证的认可，奥尔雅黑嵌入式的开放Tennis Center and C. J. Dunn Tower, and the dedication of the Acadome.

“The name C. C. Baker will forever be revered as a part of this University’s history,” said President Quinton T. Ross, Jr. “He was man of great vision who led the University with a passion that stemmed from his great love of his alma mater. “Dr. Baker was a mentor to me as I served as Student Government Association president during his tenure and throughout my professional career in education. I am proud to say that he also was my beloved friend who set an exemplary standard of excellence for those of us who are blessed to follow in his footsteps. The University is grateful for his unwavering support of ASU even after his presidency had ended. Our thoughts and prayers are with his wife, former First Lady and ASU alumna, Alma Jean Baker, and their family during this time.”

葬礼服务将于2019年11月11日星期一在Ralph David Abernathy Aditorium举行，位于阿拉巴马州立大学校园的哈里斯方式。观看将于中午到下午1点。服务将于下午1点开始。
