Join us in recognizing and celebrating the retirement and Emeritus status of our esteemed colleague, Dr. Steve Folmar @folmarfoundation Steve Folmar
Check out Dr. Clark's feature about Steve and the impact he has had on students and the department: college.wfu.edu/college-news/teacher-scholar-legacies/teacher-scholar-legacies-steve-folmar/
"As Steve Folmar transitions to Emeritus status, the Department of Anthropology reflects on a career defined not just by academic excellence, but by a radical commitment to service. To know Steve is to know a scholar who views the world not as a laboratory, but as a community of interconnected lives.
While Steve’s CV is decorated with NSF-funded research and leadership roles, his colleagues often point to his character during moments of quiet necessity as his true hallmark."
Thank you, Steve, for all that you've done for our students and the department! Feel free to share more memories and thoughts below, and we'll pass them along!
