Clinnon Harvey, Ed.D.
PRAIRIE VIEW, Texas (September 14, 2022) – The Prairie View A&M University community is remembering the life of one of its former professors, Clinnon Harvey, Ed.D., who passed away on August 29, 2022. Before retiring from PVAMU in 2017, Dr. Harvey dedicated more than 45 years of exceptional service to the University. A memorial service will be held in his honor at All Faiths Chapel on Friday, September 16, at 3 p.m.
Dr. Harvey obtained his bachelor’s and master’s degrees in mathematics from PVAMU and a doctorate in curriculum and instruction from University of Houston. He returned to “The Hill” after working as a computer analyst for NASA. “In the end, I came back to PVAMU because it just seemed like the place I should be,” he said during his retirement ceremony.
During Harvey’s tenure at the University, he served as chairman of Mathematics Education in Academic Enhancement, coordinator for Math and Access, chairman of Athletic Council, and faculty representative for Athletics Department, to name a few.
His passion for helping students never wavered; at any time, he could be seen tutoring students in math and explaining its importance to daily tasks. When asked what he would miss most about PVAMU, he responded, “I will miss the camaraderie with faculty and students. In fact, I really enjoy working with my students because they always come up with something new. Once you have been here a while, you just want to stay. There must be something in the water on ‘The Hill.’”
Dr. Harvey was a member of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc., a lifetime member of the Prairie View A&M University National Alumni Association, and an intransigent fan of all PVAMU sports.
