In memoriam
In Memoriam: Michael Hockenstein
February 13, 2024
It is with sadness that Vanier College learned of the passing of Michael Hockenstein on Friday, February 9, 2024, at the age of 78.
Michael began teaching at Vanier in the 1980s, stepping in “just for one semester” as a favor to a friend, and ended up dedicating 30 years to the college. During his tenure, he served as Commerce Department Coordinator on two occasions and was deeply committed to his students and colleagues. A lifelong learner, Michael earned a Master’s Degree while teaching at Vanier, embodying his passion for education and personal growth.
