Northern Kentucky University is mourning the death of Dennis Weatherby, Associate Provost for Student Success. Dr. Weatherby, 47, died in his home Saturday, after what we've been told was a brief hospitalization for a kidney ailment.
SWNID met Dr. Weatherby just a few months ago, not long after he joined NKU. We had a good time talking about the similarities of our names ("Dennis" and "SWNID," of course, are very similar). He struck me as a person thoroughly committed to helping students overcome obstacles to their success in college.
Today I'm struck by the similarities of our ages. Life is short, often far too short.
