It is with sadness that we report the passing of Professor Emeritus John Palmer. John had a long and distinguished career at Sonoma State in the 1960s and beyond. He co-founded SSU’s graduate program in counseling, was professor of psychology and served under President Peter Diamandopoulos as dean of students.
He also chaired the committee of five authors (photo below) who wrote Sonoma State’s first history book, Memories and Historical Highlights 1961-2011.

A memorial service is scheduled for 2 p.m. this Friday, Jan. 8, at Presbyterian Church of the Roses in Santa Rosa
