Remembering John E. Dolibois
It is with heavy hearts that we share that Ambassador John E. Dolibois passed away Friday, May 2nd. Ambassador Dolibois was instrumental in creating our Luxembourg study abroad center in 1968. “John Dolibois was one of Miami's finest alumni. He is the classic immigrant success story who played who served his adopted country with distinction in a unique role in the Nuremberg trials and later as ambassador to Luxembourg. A man of deep humanity, he was a master story teller who had an incredible memory to draw from. He was passionate about Miami, serving the university in a formal role and for many years afterwards as one of our most ardent ambassadors. We are deeply saddened by his passing, yet filled with the joy of the friendship we enjoyed. Truly a remarkable human being.” - President David Hodge Join us in a moment of silent remembrance Tuesday, May 6th at 8:30 am. You can read more about his life in the Miami University article "Miami mourns the loss of John E. Dolibois." You can also watch Amassador Dolibois's video message celebrating MUDEC's 45th Anniversary here. |
