* Obituary: Gene Simons '57

Gene Robert Simons '57, professor emeritus and former associate dean in the School of Management and Technology at Rensselaer, died July 5. Simons spent more than 35 years at Rensselaer as professor and associate dean in management and in decision sciences and engineering systems.

Simons was the recipient of the Darrin Counseling Award in 1989. This award recognizes a faculty member who has made an unusual contribution in the counseling of undergraduate students, generously sharing time and talents with them, and demonstrating special concern for their welfare in and out of the classroom. The selection of the award recipient is made by Phalanx, the student leadership honorary society.

Simons was a longtime board member and past president of the Workshop Inc. in Menands, New York and was a member of the Guardian Society in Albany. He is survived by his wife and four daughters.
