Shepherd Higher Education Consortium on Poverty as well as the Privilege & Poverty Academic Cluster and Community Engagement Office Mourn the Passing of Thomas R. Shepherd
“Tom and Nancy Shepherd have been instrumental to launching the Shepherd Consortium, and I have been proud to share in the leadership of this effort that bears their name. Tom lent us his passion for poverty studies, his vision for the transformation of higher education, his admirable humility, his sincere friendship, and his wonderful sense of humor. Tom’s character (in all senses of the word) was his greatest gift to us, and we do well to emulate that character in the work we do as SHECP.” James Calvin Davis, Middlebury College
