He is warmly remembered and deeply missed!

Harry Faulk had a personal and warm way of making you feel like a very special human being. He was personally interested in each individual student and he had the patience to listen attentively to your concerns. He was the "Heinz School" and he was one of the reasons I was able to be so successful during my tenure as a graduate student. He is warmly remembered and deeply missed! I don't think anyone can take his place...

Harry's amazing dedication and love for the MPM students

Harry Faulk took customer (the student) satisfaction to new heights! He not only made time for all MPM students’ questions, he made everyone feel welcome. One day in the early 1990s, as an MPM student, I stopped by Harry’s office to ask him a question. He answered my question then apologized for not having more time to talk. He explained that he was in a hurry to get to the airport to meet some new Heinz students arriving from Oman. Apparently the look on my face was one of surprise that he was planning to be their “chauffeur,” because he immediately responded, “I can’t let them arrive in Pittsburgh alone. Someone needs to be at the airport to welcome them!” I already held Harry in high regard, but I left his office that day totally overwhelmed by his amazing dedication and love for the MPM students. To say that he will be missed is an understatement.

Well-known for kindness, generosity and intense devotion

During my study at MPM of the Heinz School from 1994-1995 in Pittsburgh, I was feeling that Dr. Harry has been well-known for kindness, generosity and intense devotion for our students. I still remembered Dr. Harry and his wife, Annabelle to pay a visit in Beijing, Shanghai and Xian of China, we got real good party with my wife and my daughter.

If possible, please pass my condolences for Harry's wife as well as all family member, I hope that I can visit Pittsburgh again to express my real feeling for Harry's wife face by face in the future.

Such a beautiful soul

I felt like a member of my family was gone with the sad news of Dr. Faulk's passing, but I also feel lucky because Dr. Faulk helped me in different occasions. He was always ready to assist us, such a beautiful soul. So many beautiful things I can say about him. His family must be so proud of him.

We'll miss him.

As an immigrant from Nigeria, Dr. Faulk made my education possible.

Harry Faulk lived a good life and touched not just me but several others. I will forever be grateful to Dr. Harry Faulk for making my U.S. studies possible. As an immigrant from Nigeria with no money for tuition, I thought my pursuit of further education would not be possible until I met Dr. Harry Faulk. He specifically told me I could do it so long as I had it as a goal. He gave me the much needed scholarship to start and finish my MPM program and continually encouraged me until I graduated. Again, I will forever be grateful to Dr. Harry Faulk. I pray that his gentle soul rests in peace. May the good LORD bless and keep his wife, children and grandchildren, AMEN.

Here I am, serving, thanks to Harry.

I was curious about the Educational Technology Management program and Harry was my point of contact at Heinz. After meeting with him, I decided to apply to the MSETM program. I was inspired by seeing the connection between the educator and the public policy voice. So, here I am, degree in hand, serving as a School Board member in Upper St Clair, Pennsylvania.

Thank you Harry.

He loved what he did, and we loved him.

Harry was a remarkable man, and his assistance and belief in me have been instrumental in my success. When an illness and loss of job necessitated me moving away when I was two thirds finished with my Masters, Harry kept in contact and helped me identify a few courses I could take in Chicago and then helped me complete my Master's at CMU online.

He loved what he did and those of us touched by him loved him.
