For more than 40 years, Howard Rosenberg has worked to make our campus a better
place, whether it has been through the influence of his teaching as a professor
of art, his electric passion for all things creative, or during his distinguished
12-year tenure as a member of the Nevada System of Higher Education’s Board
of Regents. I’m convinced that if there is one phrase that perfectly sums up
Howard’s daily existence, it must be his oft-quoted line that “it’s for the
kids,” meaning that everything we do on our campus must always have our students
in mind. Like the very best teachers we have the great fortune of knowing in
our lives, Howard has that rare ability, like a method actor, to constantly
channel his vast life experience into his work. He has always been a larger-than-life
figure, and has harbored larger-than-life ambitions for our campus and our
students. Because of these reasons and many more, it was my great pleasure
last week to inform the Nevada System of Higher Education of a well-deserved
honor that Howard received. Below is my message to the Regents:
“Professor of
Art Howard Rosenberg was recognized last week for his contributions to the
community. We all saw his deep-rooted passion for students and for education
during his time as a member of the Nevada Board of Regents. This past semester
he took that commitment one step further and taught an art class at Hug High
School in Reno. He did so as a volunteer, teaching twice a week alongside Meredith
Arp, the Hug High School art teacher who happens to be one of Professor Rosenberg’s
former university students. Last week Professor Rosenberg was presented the
Jefferson Award by Hug High School Principal Andy Kelly. The award is sponsored
by Wells Fargo and KRNV, the local NBC affiliate, profiles each of the monthly
honorees.”
The novelist Pete Dexter once noted that he believed that there are “no intact
men” in this world. I humbly disagree with Mr. Dexter. Howard Rosenberg’s 42
years on our campus has been a tremendously productive and memorable time,
simply because Howard cares so much about his students, the people he works
with, and the community that he has served so memorably. Congratulations on
a well-deserved honor, Howard. |
