Hackerman

In lieu of flowers, consider Ariel Ministries, The Coastal Hospice Macky and Pam Stansell House, and the Hackerman-Patz Patient and Family Pavilion at Johns Hopkins Hospital.

Hackerman left the University of Texas in 1970 for Rice, where he retired 15 years later.

In 1982, he was appointed to the Gene and Norman Hackerman Chair in Chemistry at Rice.

In 2010, the university opened the state-of-the-art Norman Hackerman building (on the location of the former Experimental Sciences Building) housing chemistry and biology research and teaching laboratories.
