Dr. Richard Sinclair was the former Dean of TAMS. He retired in Spring 2014 after working with the TAMS program for over 22 years and 37 years with UNT.
Now, his name lives on as a Facebook page to compliment other TAMS students. The account allows any TAMS students to anonymously send in compliments for other students. The account is run by students, not Dr. Sinclair.
Below is an excerpt from a UNT article.
Sinclair was born in Chicago, and remembers always having an interest in science. When he imagined his life after high school and college, he saw himself wearing a white lab coat.
But before picking up a lab coat, Sinclair joined the United States Marines and was stationed at Camp Lejeune in North Carolina through the late 1960s. Soon after, he made his way to Oklahoma, where he studied biology, physiology and biophysics at Oklahoma City University and the University of Oklahoma's College of Medicine.
In 1977, Sinclair joined North Texas State University as an assistant professor of physiology in the Texas College of Osteopathic Medicine's Department of Physiology. Sinclair officed in the old Student Health and Wellness Center, which used to be located behind McConnell Hall, the current location of the Barnes & Noble at UNT Bookstore. Sinclair met his wife, Nancy, at the center; she was a nurse's aide while attending UNT as a Speech Pathology major.
"I spent 14 years at the Texas College of Osteopathic Medicine, and eventually became director of admissions," Sinclair says. "Then an opportunity came up in 1992 to become the director of TAMS. I love teaching and love students, and working with TAMS students all these years has really been a highlight of my career."
