THANK YOU, BEN CARR FOR 56 YEARS AT RWU
After 56 years of service and dedication to the Business Division at Roger Williams University, more recently known as the Mario J. Gabelli School of Business, Ben Carr, a pillar of the community, will be embarking on his next endeavor: retirement. A self- proclaimed, and incredibly proud, “Mama’s Boy,” Carr joined the University in 1969. Eager to be his best self, and do right by his students, Professor Carr leaned heavily on the mentorship of his colleagues, a philosophy that he continues to carry into the classroom every day. “I appreciate having the opportunity to teach because…I’m someone who [can] motivate people to bring out their own intrinsic motivation. Intrinsic motivation is what gets [students] to do their best work,” says Carr. Recently, Professor Carr sat down to share a few words about his time at Roger Williams, with some highlights included below. They do not, however, fully capture the essence of Ben Carr. A gentleman, and scholar, who can recount his exact feelings walking onto campus his first day of work. A faculty member, who after more than five decades, can still recall students by name. Someone who, from humble beginnings, acknowledges that education goes far beyond the classroom. Professor Carr, signing off as “bnc.” will be missed by those who had the pleasure to work and learn alongside of him. From the members of the Roger Williams University community, we wish you the best in your retirement.
