Atlanta Studies lost a friend and mentor with the passing of Cliff Kuhn, an associate professor of history at Georgia State University and executive director of the Oral History Association.
We were fortunate to work with Cliff in his capacity as a member of our advisory board, and his scholarship, passion, and generosity touched each of us. We will miss you, Cliff.
A memorial service for Cliff Kuhn will be held on Sunday December 13 at 1 pm in Speaker’s Auditorium in the GSU Student Center, 55 Gilmer St, Atlanta (at the corner of Courtland St and Gilmer St).
The service will be followed by a reception sponsored by the Georgia State University History Department.
Parking will be available in the G lot (entrance on Collins St) which is free on Sundays.
