Lubomyr Kowal

I was recently reflecting on my years at U of M - Flint and the professors I really learned something from and decided to search for them. Dr. Kowal was 1 of my favorite and I had him for 3 or my 4 economics courses - and I wish I had the fortunes of having him for the fourth! In my leadership role today I mentor a lot of fresh college graduates in business and still use his often mentioned quote "ceteris paribus", when we evaluate what happens when something is changed. I wish I would...

To the family of Dr. Kowal,
Your father was, without a doubt, one of the very best teachers I've ever had. I was a student of his at the Flint U of M in 1969 and 1970. I absolutely loved going to his classes. He made economics come alive! More importantly, he helped his students tune in to the really important aspects of life through the sharing of his humble brilliance and his experiences. He had a tremendously positive influence upon many lives and careers, including my own. ...

Dr. Kowal sparked my interest in economics and inspired me to become an economics professor. To this day, I still talk about him and the lessons he taught me. He was a great man and a great teacher. Rest in peace Dr. Kowal.

May you rest in peace Lubomyr. I remember our conversations from decades ago at UM-Flint. Your self effacing life was, and will always be, an inspiration to me. My heartfelt condolences to your family.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

Dr. Kowal was the inspiration for myself and many other students at UM-Flint. He was responsible for advancing knowledge in the world, both personally and through his students for which I thank him. May he now rest in peace!

I still remember Professor Kowal's classes in the early 70's. He was one of my favorite professors. He definitely made a difference to his students.

I remember Dr. Kowal, and the passion he expressed when he talked of his years in the Ukraine. He made an outstanding impression on me, and for the plight of the people.

To the family and friends of Professor Kowel, my deepest sympathy goes out to you. May God bring you comfort and help you cope during this difficult time.
