Dr. Poirot was the professor who got me started on my career in technology that later lead to years of service as a Vice President of Information Technology at a college. I am so happy that I got to see Dr. Poirot a few years ago at a CPAA meeting and was able to share my story of success with him. I'll never forget the look in his eyes for my story as one of his budding students of technology from 40+ years ago, Fall 1981, brought tears to his eyes. He will be missed. Jessie White...

Dr. Poirot's weekly phone calls kept me going. He genuinely cared about his students and their success. I will definitely pass it along.

Jim was a great person, first and foremost. He always made everyone feel welcome and appreciated during all the time I knew him. Jim was innovative and thoughtful in everything he did and whatever he said. He was a brilliant mentor to many faculty and students over the years. He loved everyone and made sure we knew it. Thank you for all you did for all of us. Your warmth and kindness will be missed.
