FlowersDeceased In Memoriam

One aim of ARF is to recognize and celebrate the professional accomplishments, personal qualities, and relevant experiences of CSUN faculty and staff. This is done through remembrance articles in our newsletter, ARF Notes, and the posting of an individual’s name, academic department/unit, and year of death on the ARF website’s In Memoriam page.

The ARF Board also formed a Remembrance Committee to develop a process to facilitate uncovering pertinent information and writing remembrance articles. To find information on this committee, the submission of names for remembrance, or the current Remembrance Committee membership, go to the web page
