From the Dean's Office: College mourns passing of Dr. Ira Aaron

We are deeply saddened to learn of the death of Dr. Ira Aaron, professor emeritus of reading education in the College of Education. Dr. Aaron’s impact on the College spanned many decades, touching many lives and leaving a legacy of scholarship and professionalism that will long endure.

If you would like to honor Aaron’s legacy, his family requests donations to one of his funds at the College in lieu of flowers.

The best options for donating in his memory are either the Ira Aaron Award for Teaching Excellence and Collegiality or the Ira Aaron International Study Scholarship.

Checks should be made payable to: UGA Foundation – College of Education, with the name of the chosen fund in the memo line to ensure they are directed to the correct fund.
