The Library mourns the sudden passing of Joseph Umhauer, Assistant Library Director for Technical Services.

Joe came to Niagara University in 2001 with much needed cataloging and systems experience – we were so lucky he applied! He was also a skilled reference librarian who loved sitting at the reference desk and helping anyone who needed assistance. He had an amazing sense of humor that we all loved and appreciated, and he was always smiling.

Joe was a dedicated colleague and a wonderful friend to all of us. We will miss him immensely.

Below is a picture of Joe accepting his 15-Year Employee Service Award from Father Maher on February 27, 2017.
