Honoring the life of Ulmont "Mark" Harrison

The students, faculty and staff of the College of Education mourn the loss of Ulmont “Mark” Harrison, Jr., a member of the Liberal Studies Department community and CSUMB family, who passed away August 2, 2020, after complications from heart surgery. Mark transferred from Hartnell College into the CSUMB Liberal Studies program in Fall 2019. He was a gifted student who overcame personal challenges as a first-generation college student with a disability, achieving outstanding academic accomplishments with a college GPA of 3.98, and was on the Dean’s List each semester at CSUMB. Mark was a passionate learner who actively and enthusiastically supported and contributed to the learning of his fellow students, and whose goal was to earn a teaching credential in Special Education.

The College of Education students, faculty and staff offer our sincerest, heart-felt condolences to Mark’s wife, family, friends, and loved ones. We are pleased to announce that Mark has been honored with a posthumous B.A. in Liberal Studies. He will be sorely missed. During this time of loss, we are reminded of the importance of community. Losing a fellow student and member of our university can be very difficult. We encourage those who feel they may need additional support to contact the Personal Growth and Counseling Center (831) 582-3969 for any assistance you may need.

CONGRATULATIONS TO DEAN'S LIST MEMBERS OF LIBERAL STUDIES & HUMAN DEVELOPMENT & FAMILY SCIENCE!
