In Memoriam: William Caire, Ph.D. |
William Caire, Ph.D., UCO emeritus, former dean of the College of Mathematics and Science and professor of biology, died Jan. 17. Throughout his 40 years at UCO, Caire's passion for teaching and learning and his innate curiosity inspired numerous students to participate in research, pursue careers in biology and become lifelong learners.
In 1998, Caire founded UCO's biological field station, the Selman Living Lab, in the Gypsum Hills of northwestern Oklahoma. Over many years, he developed it into a facility that supports research and education about bats and other mammals, caves, plants, geology and astronomy.
A service will be at 1 p.m., Saturday, Jan. 31, in the Nigh University Center, Ballrooms A and B.
