  • Derk Visser December 2018 Obituary
    With sadness, the family of Derk Visser, Ph.D. of Trappe, Pennsylvania, share news of his death on December 16, 2018. He was 88. Dr. Visser retired from Ursinus College in 1999 where he began teaching in 1968 after receiving a Masters degree in history from the University of Pennsylvania (1960) and a Doctorate of Philosophy, also in history, from Bryn Mawr College (1966). Prior to joining the Ursinus faculty, Dr. Visser was an instructor in Latin, French, and History at the Haverford (PA) School. Dr. Visser also held positions as Assistant Professor at Muhlenberg College and Instructor at Temple University where he taught evening and summer school courses for many years. Born in the Netherlands, Dr. Visser grew up in a village on the outskirts of Amsterdam and was the youngest of four children. The post-depression 1930s and the German occupation of 1940- 1945, as well as a Calvinist education juxtaposed with time spent exploring the Dutch landscape alone and in fondly remembered family excursions, stirred a life-long interest in the relationship between the human context and the natural world. As a young adult Dr. Visser joined the Dutch Merchant Marines which led him to the coasts of Africa, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East as well as ports across Europe and earned him the moniker of “professor” for his penchant for documenting his experiences with a camera and on a typewriter. Dr. Visser drew on these experiences throughout his academic career, both to enliven his seminar lectures and to refine the scope of his research. His wanderings resulted in a personal catalog of climate change and habitat loss.

    Mission The Philadelphia Higher Education Network for Neighborhood Devel- opment (PHENND) is a consortium of 42 colleges and universities in the greater Philadelphia area. PHENND works to build the capac- ity of its member institutions to develop mutually beneficial, sus- tained, and democratic community-based service learning partner- ships. The consortium actively seeks to revitalize local communities and schools and foster civic responsibility among the region's col- leges and universities. Higher educational institutions can function as permanent anchors and partners for community improvement. Moreover it is deeply in their interests to do so; their futures are intertwined with that of their neighborhoods. PHENND provides a vehicle for coordinating and, where appropriate, combining the efforts of higher eds so that they can make a significant contribution to improving the entire Philadelphia region.

Colleges and universities have a profound impact on their local communities - whether through the location of a new building or the support a service-learning program. But what about the impact higher eds make simply by choosing which students to admit and at which schools to recruit? Or by their support for K-12 college access? Or how their policies promote social equity?
