The Bread Loaf Teacher Network family offers our sincere condolences to family and friends of Rex Lee Jim (MA ’01, MLitt ’19) who passed away peacefully today. Rex was a poet, playwright, teacher, scholar, historian, healer, activist for Indigenous rights, and a mentor to many. We’re all grateful for our time with Rex, his commitment to BLTN and NextGen, and the vibrant legacy he leaves us. We will miss him.
