Dr. Gordon J. Aubrecht II, Professor of Physics, was dedicated to his students and shared his love of physics with thousands of them throughout his tenure at Ohio State Marion. He was a driving force and a central figure in shaping Ohio State’s regional campuses. He helped set up a regional campus council to represent the interests of the regional campuses to Ohio State’s central administration. It was Gordon Aubrecht who insisted that faculty on the regional campuses be held to the same standards of research and scholarship as those in Columbus. In 2008, Gordon received The Ohio State University’s President and Provost Award for Distinguished Faculty Service. This award honored Gordon for his effective teaching and active program of research, scholarship, and creative work. It also honored his contributions to the extensive development and implementation of university policies and programs, as well as his documentable impact on the quality of the university. Gordon was a tireless defender of academic freedom and an energetic participant in university governance. His passion for physics and education was limitless. He shared his knowledge beyond the classroom in his role as a public intellectual. In addition to his teaching duties, Dr. Aubrecht was active in professional organizations, including the American Physical Society, the Association for University Regional Campuses of Ohio, and The Ohio State University Chapter of the American Association of University Professors, of which he served as president. He passed away in November 2016 after serving the Marion campus for 43 years. He was 73 years old. Ohio State Marion has named the physics laboratory in the new Marion Science and Engineering Building in his honor. His intellect and personal energy is sorely missed.
