[asiacouncil] Passing of Dr. Tom Dolan

[Eric Spears]

Dear Asia Council Colleagues,

It is with a heavy heart that we report that one of our colleagues, Dr. Tom
Dolan, recently passed away.

Dolan joined the faculty of CSU in August 2000 after twenty years as a
Naval officer. He chaired the Political Science Department from 2003 to
2008 and again from 2010 to 2014, retired as a Full Professor in 2018, was
named Professor Emeritus that same year, and taught courses in Political
Science as recently as last semester.

He served as the Director of the Richard R. Hallock Lecture Series from
2007 to 2016. Under Dr. Dolan’s leadership, CSU hosted a series of
internationally recognized speakers in the area of national security,
including Ambassador Thomas Pickering and Major General Patricia Frost. Dr.
Dolan was himself a recognized expert on North Korea who had traveled there
in recent years. He published numerous articles on Asian international
issues, particularly related to Korea.


Our deepest condolences go out to his family.
