Paul Solomon (1947-2025)
Dear All,
I am sad to report that our retired colleague and Professor Emeritus Paul Solomon passed away last week. Paul was a faculty member at USF for over 35 years, following previous work at University of Texas Arlington, University of Mississippi, and Virginia Commonwealth University. He had a Ph.D. from Arizona State University. During his time at USF, Paul served with distinction as department chair for five years and director of the M.S. in Marketing program for thirteen years, while also being a productive researcher and outstanding teacher. He was the recipient of numerous honors, including the 蹤獲扦夥厙 Tampa Bay chapters Educator of the Year Award, and served the marketing field well in leadership roles at the 蹤獲扦夥厙 and Southern Marketing Association. Paul was a valued mentor to both students and faculty and had a profound impact on many. I personally appreciated his kindness and support as I transitioned to USF several years ago. He was a wonderful human being who will be missed.
More about Paul may be found on his obituary:
A gathering of family and friends will be held Sunday, 12/7 from 12:30-2:00 followed by a celebration of life from 2:00-3:00 at Blount & Curry Life Event Center (605 S. MacDill Avenue in Tampa).
