My dear friend and colleague Dr. Gent Dotson unexpectedly passed away Saturday January 18, 2014. Please keep his family, in particular his wife and children in mind during this hard time. Just yesterday he received two emails from past graduates thanking him for his authenticity and passion for his students. His love for his students never yielded while he was at ASU. I hope I can make such an impact as he did in such a short period of time. > > As my colleague John Garland so well put, "I know that Gent was a strong advocate for social justice and was instrumental in so many of our students' successes during his too short time at ASU. He often shared this quote of MLK Jr.s from his Letter from a Birmingham Jail with me when things got tough. He would talk about how this quote often becomes truncated and therefore loses the most important part of its meaning. I think that Gent, as a counselor and colleague, would be sharing it again today with all of us." > > "Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly." > > Gent's service will be held this Thursday afternoon in Mississippi (details below). His obituary will be published tomorrow. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the ASU Foundation - Dr. D. Gent Dotson Student Success Fund. If you'd like to make a donation, you can mail or bring it to the Office of the Dean. > > Magnolia Funeral Home > 2024 Hwy. 72 E.
