Tributes have been paid to a former University of Huddersfield lecturer.
David Arthurs passed away peacefully on October 21, after 20 years at the university’s Queensgate campus.
Mr Arthurs started working for the University in 1996 and was an academic skills tutor in the School of Human and Health Sciences since 2001, where he created and developed the Learning Quality Support Unit.
Over the past 15 years he has supported many, many students and colleagues developing their academic skills and confidence.
Of equal importance, Mr Arthurs was a well-respected tireless University and College Union representative and Dignity at Work officer. His contribution to the life and development of the University will be greatly missed.
Colleagues and students have been invited to visit the Online Memorial for David Arthurs and to share in the creation of the Memorial by leaving a personal message and any special remembrances, photos or videos.
There will also be a memory book for anyone who would like to leave a message in the School of Human and Health Sciences reception in the Harold Wilson foyer until Monday, November. If anyone is unable to leave a message personally, they can email this to j.hargreaves@hud.ac.uk and it will be copied into the book.
His funeral will take place on Monday November 9, at 1.15pm at the Huddersfield Crematorium. Donations to muscular dystrophy charities are requested rather than flowers.
