RMC's former director and research scientist, Dr. Robert W. "Bob" Glover, passed away peacefully on May 4, 2006. Dr. Ray Marshall hired Bob as the Center’s first paid staff member when it opened its doors in June 1970 in the basement of Waggener Hall. He was an integral part of the Center throughout his tenure and even after his retirement in 2012. Bob specialized in studies of education, labor markets, learning and work for more than four decades. His research focused on human resource development, including K-12 education, remedial education and basic skills, postsecondary education, vocational preparation and apprenticeship, school-to-work transition, workforce development in agriculture, industry training practices, employment discrimination and skill standards. He authored many reports, articles and books on these topics over his lengthy career.
