In memoriam: Terence G. (Terry) Collins

Terence G. (Terry) Collins, who served as interim dean of CEHD when it was first formed, died on May 11, 2023. He was 77 years old. Terry received his undergraduate and PhD degrees at the University of Minnesota and worked at the U for more than three decades as a faculty member and administrator. He was a professor of writing and literature and director of academic affairs in the General College before serving CEHD as interim dean. Terry was a first-generation college student and spent much of his career committed to creating access and equity for students to receive the same high-quality education he had enjoyed. He felt he was joyously lucky in his three daughters, including Molly Rojas Collins, currently a senior teaching specialist in the School of Social Work. Read the full obituary.
