Chadwick Fairfax Alger

Remembering Chad fondly. The picture taken at his grandson's and my son's high school graduation in Grandview still shows up regularly in my feed. His memory is a blessing.

Craig, so sorry to hear of the loss of your dad. Prayers and thoughts are being sent your way.

Chad led an incredibly productive and moral life. He was about as unstuffy as anyone could be. Who can forget his old VW bus? Much more importantly, Chad infected everyone who knew him with a life-long respect for the peaceful resolution of conflict. His recent letter to the Columbus Dispatch about the positive role played by the UN showed that his passion had not dimmed. It is a lifetime honor to have known him.

What shocking and sad news! Chad was an inspiration and constant support for me personally and for many others in our community and around the world, as a scholar, teacher, and activist. He was a reliable friend of those working for peace, justice, and positive world community, with a more effective United Nations and NGOs. We will miss him repeatedly in these times. How sad we will not see him at future ISA or IPRA meetings where we always found joy in connecting with him and what he was...

At Ohio State, Chad served as a vital mentor - guiding me through the world of international organization and peace studies in the classroom and as an adviser on my dissertation project. My teaching and undergraduate thesis advising today continues to be infused with the concepts and approaches that he imparted. I hope that the next generation will continue to be inspired by his wisdom.

Chad has made an enormous impact as a scholar, teacher and promoter of peace. He will be remembered fondly by his many friends around the world. I'm so grateful for our time together as colleagues.

Long live Chad Alger! I grew up with his guidance and leadership on so many areas of international concerns, especially the United Nations during times of great distrust. Chad A. helped a whole generation move into a greater understanding that global cooperation is the only path to a future of justice and peace.

May family and friends never forget Chad's quiet persona and eager guidance of this generation's internationalists.

Chad's life, teaching, and writing has influenced me for decades and will continue to do so.

Very sorry to hear of this loss. Chad Alger was an inspiration to everyone seeking peace and social justice. His involvement never slacked over the many years I knew him.
