In Memoriam: Associate Professor Emeritus Roger Hamood
It is with deep sadness that I am posting information about the passing of Shepherd University's beloved accounting professor, Roger Hamood. The information below is from an email from Shepherd University's Provost:
"We have received the sad news that Roger Hamood, who served Shepherd University for 41 years before retiring in 2019, passed away on July 28, 2026.
During his distinguished career, Roger served with dedication as an associate professor of accounting and department chair. His passion for teaching, commitment to his students, and lasting contributions to the University left a meaningful impact on generations of graduates, colleagues, and the broader Shepherd community. In recognition of his extraordinary commitment to accounting education, friends, family, and alumni established the Roger Hamood Accounting Student Endowment, ensuring that his legacy of supporting Shepherd students will continue for years to come. https://www.shepherd.edu/roger-hamood-accounting-student-endowment/
