Kudos to Dr. K

Keith Strudler, longtime faculty advisor, mentor and true Friend of the Track Program, has received a promotion (see excerpt of memo emailed to Marist Community on Friday, below). Good for Keith!

As I said, he is a true friend of the program, having mentored many past runners in their communications careers and (pre-injury) he even knocked out some quality 10-milers with them, not to mention come with us on our long bus trips to Boston, New York and elsewhere. (He would note that the previous is a terrible, run-on sentence, by the way)

It's important to note that Keith achieved this promotion despite a debilitating back injury last fall, which forced him to teach courses and attend meetings lying prone on his back on a couch. He is recovering nicely and hopes to be back on the triathlon trail in a few months.

Feel free to send notes of congrats to Strudler at Keith.Strudler@Marist.edu.

From Thomas Wermuth, VP for Academic Affairs email: I am pleased to announce that, at its February 7 meeting, the Board of Trustees of the College acted on the following promotion: Dr. Keith Strudler, to Associate Professor of Communication. I would like to extend my congratulations to these candidates and to thank the members of the Rank and Tenure Committee for their long hours and careful consideration.
