Chris Frey Memorial

Updated: Jan 18



It deeply saddens me to announce that our beloved friend and faculty member Chris Frey passed away on January 25th, 2024. For years, Chris was an active member of the AUAFA Faculty Association maintaining various leadership roles such as Negotiations' Chair, Grievance Officer, etc.

Chris's contribution spanned beyond the professional--he was a passionate advocate of the arts and quite often you could hear Chris playing his guitar or turning favourite tunes way up so that everyone who walked past his classroom wished they were in on the fun. Chris was an animated storyteller and critical thinker coining his students as "crows" (a.k.a. Critical Creative Research and Writing Scholars). I was lucky enough to know Chris first as a Professor and then later as a colleague in the Faculty Association. Chris was a poet, a provocateur and our friend.We will miss you dearly Chris. Rest in peace.

Faculty wanting to express their condolences or share a memory can write a message to his family (follow link).
