A celebration of life was held Saturday, July 2, 2022, at Morrow Mountain State Park, Albemarle, NC. The Tapia College of Business will plan a memorial service for Dr. Lowder in the fall.
“In his 15-years here, he taught a wide variety of courses—both undergraduate and graduate—such as project management, strategic management, entrepreneurship, organizational behavior, and international business, among others,” said Dr. Rajib Sanyal, interim dean of the Tapia College of Business. “He touched and shaped the lives of innumerable students, and he lives on through them.”
