Mourning the Loss of Dirk Sponholz

It was with great sadness that we received the news of the passing of our dear colleague Dirk Sponholz.

Anyone who worked with Dirk on the Experiential Education Certificate (ZEP) program knows that he approached his work with great passion and dedication. His commitment to inclusion within the context of experiential education greatly enriched the project. Dirk championed the cause of those who are often overlooked and, with great empathy and perseverance, sought ways to put inclusion into practice.

With his passing, we lose not only a competent colleague but also a dear friend who inspired us to think in a more inclusive and open-minded way.

We wish his family and closest friends much strength and hope.

All colleagues in the Experiential Education Certificate Program
