Remembering Rev. Paul Drobin 

In late September, our community experienced the loss of Rev. Paul Drobin, who served as our dedicated Chaplain from 1999 to 2018. For nearly two decades, Rev. Drobin was a steadfast source of comfort, compassion, and guidance, providing support during moments of personal and collective difficulty. 

Rev. Drobin’s influence extended far beyond his office in the Student Center. His unwavering commitment to inclusivity and understanding made him a trusted presence for everyone, regardless of faith or background. His non-denominational approach and genuine care for others reflected his deep understanding of the diverse needs of our campus community. 

While we continue to mourn his passing, we also celebrate the profound impact he made on countless lives. His legacy of kindness and service is a lasting reminder of the importance of compassion in fostering a welcoming and inclusive environment. 

As we reflect on his contributions, we hold Rev. Drobin’s family, friends, and loved ones in our thoughts. Though his physical presence is missed, his memory remains an enduring inspiration to all who had the privilege of knowing him.
