Dr Garrett's passing
No other teacher impressed me as much as Prof. Garrett. I loved the man and the professor. At first, he intimidated me so much (I was still struggling with my spoken English) that I avoided his class. Next quarter, at a final exam paper on third world countries, which he graced with an A+, he wrote: "This a beautifully written, deeply felt paper. It's a model graduate paper". 30 years later, I still keep that paper as well as fond, affectionate memories of an exceptional man. May he rest in peace.

Professor Garrett
Dr. Garrett was a fantastic professor who knew how to bring out everyone's best thinking. I thoroughly enjoyed his classes and have fond memories of our discussions. He will be greatly missed. Our thoughts are with his family.

Dr. Garrett helped his students take their learning to new levels. He engaged those in his classes in a way brought out everyone's best thinking. I am saddened to hear of MIIS's loss and wish his family the best.

Running Throught the Woods with Steve (Early 80's)
Steve knew I was a runner and invited me and few other students and professors to participate in a 10K run through Pfeiffer State National Park in Big Sur. It was a glorious morning and we ran through the forest with beams of light piercing the morning dew. At about the halfway mark, deep in the woods, we passed a four string quartet dressed in tuxedos playing Vivaldi. Bewildered, I looked at Steve and said "did you see that? and he replied "No".
I am saddened that Steve is no longer with us. He gave me a jewel of an experience and one that that I will always treasure. Thank you Steve.

We have lost a great sage
I just learned today of his passing and I am deeply moved. He was one of the most influential professors I had while I was at MIIS and I am saddened by the news of his passing. Professor Garrett believed in all his students to achieve their very best, he truly cared about young minds and filled those minds with the truth about the world - his Human Rights class was one of the most impactful courses at MIIS and no one would be able to quite fill his shoes. He supported me in my Fulbright application and I was able to go onwards to keep educating myself and enlighten myself as he enlighten others. You will be missed and hope you rest in peace Professor Garrett.

Prof. Garrett
I was at MIIS only briefly, back in the late 1980s. But in my short time there, Prof. Garrett mentored me and helped me tremendously, and I remember him fondly.

Enhanced by sunny skies, campus sparkled as the richness of diversity of the MIIS student body truly radiated on Saturday. The International Bazaar seemed organized, dynamic and engaging. One of the best in 24 years! To all who contributed to the delicious recipes and the cultural entertainment: Well done!
