TRATON HEADLINE: Remembering an Honorable Man and an Incredible Mentor - Christopher H. Sotak

On 2011 May 28, the world lost an incredible man, who had positively touched the lives of many. Prof. Christopher H. Sotak, former head of the Biomedical Engineering Department at Worcester Polytechnic Institute, passed away after a long struggle with cancer.

Speaking of Prof. Sotak, one of his former students, Prof. Sam Han, stated:
Chris was one of the most honorable people that I knew. He always placed his students' best interests before his own. In fact, he was the reason that I decided to go into teaching. I can only hope to treat my students as well as he treated me. I shall always remember Chris as a good teacher, a good scientist, a good mentor, and a good friend. The world was richer for his presence, and the world loses an incredible man with Chris' passing away.


Similar sentiments were expressed by another former student:
Aside from my parents, Chris has been the most influential person in helping to shape my life and scientific career. Chris was the best advisor to me, but most importantly, he was a friend. He was there when I needed guidance, and reminded me of my own dad. Chris was, and will always remain, one of my favorite people!


It seems fitting to end this post with the Biblical blessing from Numbers 6:24-26:
The LORD bless you and keep you;
the LORD make his face shine on you and be gracious to you;
the LORD turn his face toward you and give you peace.
