Abstract

Memorializes James H. Korn (1938-2025). Jim joined the faculty at Saint Louis University (SLU) in 1974, initially serving as chair of the psychology department, and remained at SLU as teacher, mentor, and colleague until his retirement in 2006. For more than 3 decades, he championed teaching excellence across the university, believing deeply in helping teachers become better educators. His influence is reflected in the many students and colleagues he mentored- challenging them to think critically about their teaching, stay active in the classroom, question the "why," and learn from mistakes. Jim's impact extended well beyond the classroom. He was an early advocate for diversity, equity, and inclusion, helping establish the department's Diversity and Inclusion Committee in the early 1990. Jim's leadership extended to the national stage. He served as president of American Psychological Association Division 2 (1987-1988) and was instrumental in creating the Fund for Excellence in the Teaching of Psychology, championing recognition and support for outstanding educators.
