Glenn Snyder was a wonderful man -- smart, kindly, soft-spoken, and genuine. I learned so much from reading his publications, and he had a profound influence on my intellectual development.

Glenn was my dissertation advisor at UNC Chapel Hill, and I'm pretty sure I was his last dissertation student. He was a kind and insightful man, and very open-minded. I will always value his support and guidance as I finished my dissertation and PhD, and his cheerful willingness to support a rookie scholar who was going in a very different direction from his own work. A great scholar, a great mentor, and a great man.

Professor Snyder's national security seminar was one of the first I took in graduate school at Chapel Hill. I remember well his warmth, wit, and intellect. Many prayers for his peace, and for those who will miss him.

A gentle man who had little patience with academic politics, Glenn was devoted to his students and his research, and took a lively interest in younger scholars delving into the mysteries of balance of power politics. He will be missed.

Professor Snyder's scholarship and collegiality have mattered a lot in my development as a political scientist. His ideas, his example, and his encouragement will continue to inspire me.

Prof. Snyder was a brilliant theorist, and very kind to me when I was a first-year assistant professor at UNC. He will be missed.
