The Retired  Faculty  Committee

Former members of the faculty of the resident graduate schools who are now retired, together with their spouses, have formed an organization for the purpose of keeping in contact with each other, and with the Institute. The group holds quarterly luncheons at locations convenient to members in the Dayton-Columbus area.

The organization also honors faculty who, having retired after serving the majority of their professional careers teaching at AFIT, are now deceased. This recognition includes a ceremony and the mounting of a suitably inscribed plaque in Bane Hall. Former faculty who have been so honored, with department and dates of service, are:
