MICHAEL J. DEMPSEY Ph.D.

An inspirational teacher and colleague who was a big part of my success as student and teacher.

Rest In Peace Mike. And continued condolences to his family and friends.

Of all the teachers I had throughout high school and college, Dr. Dempsey was the sharpest, the toughest, the most passionate. A man who could recall the most obscure dates or slightest details of any historical event, he taught his students how to tie it all together, to look at things from all angles, to genuinely question how and why. His historical prowess was boundless, and while I recall his style of teaching to have been more demanding than most, I am certain that I am not alone in...

One of the greatest teachers I have ever had. Brilliant and humble man who taught me lessons for life.

Dr. Dempsey taught me how to write and always challenged us to be the very best students, writers and people we could be.

I still use the writing and critical thinking skills that he helped develop during our time at Baker Street and consider him a mentor and a friend.

Dr. D - you will be missed! Thank you for being you and having such an impact on all of those around you.

Highly intelligent cerebral man, RIP Mike.
