Dr. Robert (Bob) Hawes, Professor Emeritus of Industrial Technology and Safety, passed away on Tuesday, May 15. Dr. Hawes began his career at KSC in 1969 and continued until his retirement in 1998. He involved his students through active engagement in the learning process, an approach well adapted to Industrial Technology. But it was his manner—always approachable, always respectful, and always knowledgeable—that drew students to him. Professor Hawes earned his bachelor’s degree from Northeastern in 1960 and a doctorate of education from Penn State in 1980. Assistant Professor of Modern Languages Dr. Stephen Hawes said that the family will be holding quiet family-centered services.

My deepest condolences to the family of Dr. Hawes. I find myself frequently using concepts that he taught while I was a student in his classes at KSC in the late 1970’s.
I remember Prof Hawes fondly. His teaching style kept you interested and he had a great sense of humor. He will always remain in my memories of KSC.
