The philosophy department at Texas A&M University will honor Associate Professor Richard Stadelmann for his 42 years of service to the university. The event will be held in the press box at Kyle field on Thursday, May 21 from 3:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m.

The celebration will include testimonials from students and former students. Following the testimonials, Professor Stadelmann will offer his reflections on the changing face of university education. Light refreshments and hors d’oeuvres will be served throughout the event.

Stadelmann received his M.Div. from Yale University and later came to Texas A&M in 1967. In that first year, he taught religion and philosophy classes and introduced the Religious Studies program. Stadelmann has taught more than nine course areas, from the concepts of love to graduate level classes on Hindu philosophy. This semester he is teaching eastern religion studies and coaching the first A&M debate team. In addition to being an ordained minister, Stadelmann is also a parliamentarian and has served as a consultant to many state and national political and professional organizations.
