Memorial Service April 7
To Honor Longtime UNH Professor
(Continued from UNH Today home page.)

To the University Community:

You are invited to an on-campus memorial service for Dr. Caroline Dinegar Monday, April 7th at 2 p.m. in Dodds Theatre. Whether you knew Dr. Dinegar, a longtime University of New Haven professor who died December 12th after a courageous battle with cancer, or you never had the opportunity to interact with her, I highly recommend that you attend. Knowing what the University has lost is as integral to your understanding of this campus and what drives it, as is recognizing what the University has to offer.

Dr. Dinegar was something of a political celebrity here at the University. Her talents, nurtured as a student at Cornell, Columbia and Oxford, then honed as a Foreign Affairs officer and a liaison to the United States Mission to the United Nations in New York and Paris, served her well as a professor in institutions of higher education. She was an assistant professor of Political Science at the University of Connecticut, associate professor of International Law and Organization at Cal State Northridge and assistant professor in the Woodrow Wilson Department of Government at the University of Virginia before arriving at the University of New Haven. Her resume here was equally diverse. She served as assistant provost, was chair of the Department of Political Science, chaired the Faculty-Senate several times over the course of many years, served temporarily as acting director of the library, was interim dean of the College of Arts and Sciences and directed the School of Hospitality and Tourism. During her time at the University of New Haven, she also served as a director in the Peace Corps, and was professor of Strategy and Politics at the U.S. Naval War College in Newport. She even ran for mayor of New Haven, twice.

We were always proud of her service and her affiliation with the University of New Haven, and are committed to celebrating it. Campus minister Marty O’Connor will deliver an invocation, and students, faculty and staff will share remembrances of Dr. Dinegar. Please join us if you can and feel free to bring a memory.
