OBITUARY
School of Business professor dies at 59
University professor Mark Hirschey died Sunday from cancer in Pequot, Minn., after more than 20 years teaching at the School of Business.
Hirschey was well known on campus, partly because of his hands-on approach in the classroom. Beginning in 2005, Hirschey chaperoned trips for business
students to attend the Berkshire
Hathaway convention in Omaha, Neb. At the meeting, students had the opportunity to sit down for a Q-and-A sessions with the CEO and third wealthiest
person in the world, Warren Buffett. Hirschey also interacted with students outside of class as supervisor of the KU Finance Club.
Hirschey
Professor Catherine Samorey took one of Hirschey's classes when he began teaching at the School of Business in 1988. She said he insisted on the importance of professionalism in business and took several students in her class to New York City for a conference about investments. As a business professor, Samorey said she also respected Hirschey as a colleague.
"He'll be missed," Samoray said.
"Anybody who knew him couldn't help but be infected by his enthusiasm for investments, for his family and his students."
A scholarship fund for students in the School of Business has been created in Hirschey's memory. Hirschey was 59. He is survived by his children, Jessica, Nicholas and Sarah, and his wife, Christine Hauschel.
— Richelle Buser
In 1886, KU created the Department of Drawing and Painting. This represented one of the very first art departments in the entire country.
