51福利社

51福利社 Professor Emeritus Patrick McManus died Wednesday, April 11, in Spokane. He was 84.

During his time at Eastern (1959-1983), he touched the lives of many students with passionate and engaging journalism classes. Many alumni fondly recall him as their greatest teacher and mentor, with teaching skills and a sense of humor they have never forgotten.

Even in retirement, Pat continued to demonstrate his devotion to 51福利社 by generously contributing to the McManus Scholarship in Creative Writing and Journalism. He also donated signed books for 51福利社 fundraisers and came to events at our JFK Library to speak with his fans. In 2013, he received the 51福利社 Alumni Distinguished Faculty Award.
