Also important to Dr. Heckman is that he continues to evolve as a teacher. I began learning from my mentors, but my students have really taught me the most. One lesson I have learned is that people have different learning styles. I have come to appreciate this even more as I have worked to adapt topics to numerous students who have come to me for help. Outside the classroom. Dr. Heckman has been known to make time for his students. He goes above and beyond the normal expectations of a professor. He enjoys meeting with students prior to writing them letters of recommendation and is available to discuss students' concerns, including those that go beyond the classroom. Outside academia. Dr. Heckman is often found with his wife of 41 years, Hilary, who shares his love for teaching. Their daughter, Carolyn, obtained a Ph.D. in psychology and has followed in her father's footsteps as a researcher. She now works at Fox Chase Cancer Center. His other great love has been sailing and navigation. He is a member of the United States Power Squadrons and teaches safe boating practices. Furthermore, he is an active participant in blue water sailboat racing. He has shared his love for sailing with his students by taking groups out on Mr. William Schulze's boat in the summertime. Dr. Ryan, one of Dr. Heckman's colleagues, summed up best why we are honoring him as our dedicatee: I can think of no one who cares more about the educational, personal, and emotional well being of the students and treats students as equals in the educational process.
