ABOUT JOHN C. WILLIAMS
![John Williams Portrait](/academics/visualartanddesign/img/johnwilliams.png)
The faculty and students flourished under Williams’ leadership, and he became not only their dean but also their friend, mentor, and, above all, a man greatly loved and respected.
“He was a really great friend,” remembers Zach McDonald, ’08. “After I graduated, I would come back, and we would sit and talk for hours. I respected him so much as an artist, and on top of that he was a real Christian who lived with integrity. He still inspires me today to keep working and producing art. I got to see him two weeks before he passed away, and he said to me, ‘Good work; it’s beautiful stuff.’”
Williams passed away on October 8, 2009, yet his legacy continues to inspire art students.
