In memory of Professor Mohamed Mahmoud Ould Mohamedou

The International History and Politics department honors the memory of an outstanding professor, colleague, mentor, and friend. His contributions and presence will be deeply missed.

 

It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of our esteemed colleague and friend, Professor Mohamed Mahmoud Ould Mohamedou, Deputy Director, Director of Executive Education, and Professor at our department. Our heartfelt condolences go out to his wife, Shainese, his children, Bahiya, Kemal, and Zaynab, and his entire family during this difficult time.

Professor Mohamedou's dedication as a mentor of dozens of PhD students and as an educator in the classroom was legendary, and his ability to bring the study of modern history to bear on the analysis of contemporary developments was unsurpassed. His memory and the impact he had on generations of students and on all of us will never fade.
