It is with great sadness that we share the news of the passing of Dr. Muhammad Halim Dalgin during a mountain climbing trip in July 2024. The business administration professor was a beloved member of the College of Business and made a substantial impact on the lives of KU students. While on sabbatical, Dr. Dalgin was traveling, one of his favorite passions, to pursue research about sustainable food supply chains. Dr. Dalgin joined the Golden Bear family in 2008, serving on several major committees within the department. His research interests included international trade, exchange rates, balance of payments, and the impact of color in marketing. Previously, Dr. Dalgin taught at the University of Scranton and Bloomsburg University. Dr. Dalgin received his Ph.D. in economics from Syracuse University and was a graduate of the Middle East Technical University in Ankara, Turkey. In his free time, Dr. Dalgin loved traveling and hiking. In Memory of MUHAMMAD HALIM DALGIN IN HIS QUEST TO UNDERSTAND THE WORLD’S ECONOMIES, HE TRAVERSED BOTH ANCIENT TRADE ROUTES AND MOUNTAIN TRAILS, FINDING WISDOM IN THE STORIES TOLD BY HISTORY AND NATURE. HIS DREAM OF EXPLORING THE SILK ROAD REMINDS US THAT THE PURSUIT OF KNOWLEDGE AND THE APPRECIATION OF BEAUTY OFTEN GO HAND IN HAND. - DR. GARY CHAO “ “ FALL 2024 | 39
