In Memory of Chris Henrichsen

Chris Henrichsen was a husband, father, teacher, philosopher, and beloved member of Union Institute and University's PhD in Interdisciplinary Studies program. Chris' intelligence and humor (and love of punk rock) left a deep and lasting impact on everyone whose lives he touched. To honor Chris' memory after his sudden passing in December 2021, we at Union are raising funds for his wife, Lyndee, and their three children.

“The perspective of eternity is not a perspective from a certain place beyond the world, nor the point of view of a transcendent being; rather it is a certain form of thought and feeling that rational persons can adopt within the world ... Purity of heart, if one could attain it, would be to see clearly and to act with grace and self-command from this point of view.”

-- John Rawls
