Statement on the passing of Congressman Dave Hobson

Statement on the Passing of Congressman Dave Hobson by Jo Alice Blondin, Ph.D., President, Clark State College: I am deeply saddened by the passing of an iconic leader: Congressman Dave Hobson. His tireless efforts and impact as a legislator are widely seen throughout southwestern Ohio and beyond. While he was no longer serving in Congress when I came to Clark State in July 2013, Hobson was a trusted and incredibly knowledgeable community leader and resource who provided advocacy, perspective and advice that positively impacted Clark State College and Clark County, Ohio. Due to his leadership and vision, Clark State’s Beavercreek campus was established to better serve and extend Clark State’s educational reach to Greene County. His wisdom, kindness, and advocacy will truly be missed.
