With great sadness, we report that Roger Sorrells died on Friday, September 2, 2011, from Advanced Parkinson’s disease. As many know, Roger was the beloved partner of Gloriana St. Clair, dean of University Libraries. With Gloriana, he was a founding member of the Highlands Circle, CMU’s distinguished giving society. Most recently, he and Gloriana endowed the Sorrells & St. Clair Group Study Room at the Engineering and Science Library.
