In Memoriam
Remembering Rolando del Carmen
Rolando V. del Carmen, Distinguished Professor Emeritus, Regents’ Professor Emeritus, was a long-time benefactor of the College of Criminal Justice.
A beloved member of the SHSU faculty, del Carmen became an assistant professor in 1974, was named Distinguished Professor in 1995, and Regents’ Professor in 2007. His expertise is recognized worldwide, and he has written prominent books and articles in the field, which have been translated into other languages and distributed across the globe. As a mentor to many graduate students, he helped them publish academic articles and advance legal scholarship in the field of criminal justice.
During his tenure, del Carmen earned many accolades, and was one of only three scholars to be recognized with all three top awards from the Academy of Criminal Justice Sciences. Additionally, he was named a Piper Professor, which recognizes the state’s top college and university faculty instructors.
Del Carmen generously supported the college, giving hundreds of thousands of dollars for scholarships. He has two scholarships in his name and contributed a gift annuity in honor of Phillip Lyons, dean and director of the Criminal Justice Center.
“Although Professor del Carmen will be greatly missed within the university community, he leaves behind a lasting and significant legacy in the students and colleagues whose lives he touched so profoundly and positively,” Lyons said. “We would not be who we are today, but for his presence over the decades; and we will not be the same without him.”
