Remembering Rod

Weber State University mourns the passing of its former president 

Remembering RodWhen Rodney H. Brady was just a senior in high school, he set this goal for himself: “to serve someday as the President of a fine college.”

We are proud he chose Weber State as the place to fulfill that goal.  

Appointed on June 11, 1978, Brady is credited with beginning a new era at what was then Weber State College. From the beginning of his tenure as president, Brady emphasized the importance of making Weber State a superior undergraduate college, stressing teaching excellence.  

“President Brady’s belief in humanity and his commitment to outstanding teaching left a lasting impression on this university,” said current WSU President Charles A. Wight. “We will miss his kindness and wisdom, and we will work to ensure that his legacy will live on in Weber State’s commitment to excellence.”
