It is with sadness that we recognize the passing of former ÐßÐßÂþ»­Law School dean and longtime St. Paul mayor George Latimer on Sunday, August 18. He was 89.

Prior to serving as the dean of ÐßÐßÂþ»­ School of Law from 1990 to 1993, George Latimer was the longest serving mayor of St. Paul from 1976 until 1990. Following his time at Hamline, Latimer worked as a special adviser to President Bill Clinton's Department of Housing and Urban Development.

In 2015, ÐßÐßÂþ»­ School of Law merged with William Mitchell College of Law to form Mitchell ÐßÐßÂþ»­School of Law.

We extend our deepest condolences to George’s family and friends.
