In my journal entry of September 24, 2008 I reported the untimely passing of Dana Knox, Associate Provost and Professor of Chemical Engineering at NJIT. Today there was a celebration of his life at the Campus Center Atrium. There were moving speeches by Reginald Tomkins, Reobert Altenkirch, Priscilla Nelson, Joel Bloom, Rose Federici, Isabel Bracero, Robert Barat, Lisa Kardos, Kathy Kelly, David Ullman, Richard Sweeney, and John Federici.We just created an area for the collection of Dana's chemical engineering books that were donated to the library. There is also a plaque that will be mounted in the library at a future date to recall his contributions to the university.
