Professor Manning relinquished the Institute’s directorship in 1987 to become the lead professor for PSU’s newly launched International Business baccalaureate degree program. University President Natale Sicuro lauded Professor Manning for his outstanding pioneering efforts that added a significant dimension to PSU’s thrust as a global university. During his long career at PSU Professor Manning actively engaged in university-wide governance. He was a member of the Graduate Council, International Programs Board, Publications Board, and various search committees. For his tireless, innovative and lasting contributions, the University community owes a lasting debt of gratitude to Professor Manning. Our organization extends heartfelt condolences to surviving family members, including his spouse, Lorelei Manning, their children Dr. David (“Puffer”) and Keld Bangsberg; Marsha Martin and Sandra Manning; his brother, PSU Emeritus Professor William A. Manning (Norma). His former wife, Clarissa, and their daughter, Suzie, preceded him in death.
