Funeral services were held July 24 for Charles Rogers of the
electrical engineering faculty. He died Sunday, July 21,
at East Alabama Medical Center. Rogers, who retired from
the university last year, was a member of the electrical
engineering faculty since 1957. He earned the
bachelor's and master's degrees from Auburn, and his doctorate from Duke.
"In addition to his classroom contributions, Rogers was
instrumental in curriculum development, and had an active part in shaping not only the curriculum being taught in the
department today, but in the design of tomorrow's as well," Larry
Benefield, associate dean of academics, said.
"It is a fitting tribute that his contributions to the college and
community will live on in the careers of his students, many of whom viewed him
as a mentor as well as a teacher."
He is survived by his wife, Jackie, and children Luke and Mattie. He
is also survived by a brother, Joseph, and granddaughter Leah.
Reflecting his dedication to his students, the family requests that memorials
be made to the Dr. Charles Rogers Scholarship Fund in care
of SouthTrust Bank, Auburn.
