Former Kogod School of Business Dean Sterling Ivison Jr., 89, died Aug. 16 from Alzheimer's disease.
Ivison, who taught finance, earned an Outstanding Teaching Award from AU in 1978. He became Kogod's acting dean in 1981 and held that position until 1983, according to a memo Dean of Academic Affairs Haig Mardirosian sent to the campus community on Thursday.
Ivison came to AU after retiring as a captain in the U.S. Navy. It was his time in the service that gave him the financial experience he needed to teach at AU. Before retiring from the Navy, Ivison twice received the Legion of Merit award, according to the memo.
He is survived by two children and three grandchildren.
Ivison's memorial service and internment will occur Nov. 11 at Oak Hill Cemetery in Georgetown.
