• W1566332920 abstract "Herbert Chermside entered the emerging profession of research administration after attending his first Society of Research Administrators (SRA) meeting in 1969. The meeting was held one month prior to the completion of his bachelor's degree. The former Marine used his G.I. Bill and six years of his life working toward that degree (M. Chermside, personal communication, June 29, 2006). He used his degree intentionally to seek out a job in research administration and begin a personal journey touching the lives of thousands. He worked not only to develop his own career, but also to establish research administration as a distinct genre in the broad field of adminstration. Chuck's death left a sharp void in so many of us who considered him Mentor. His life, however, serves as a role model and clarion call to those who learned from him to fill that void. We, as a group, must take up his mantle and carry forward as a network of mentors as an honor and as an obligation to continue his quest on behalf of our emerging profession,. To do this, we must simply follow his path. To say Herbert Chermside was well known to the research community is an understatement. One need only go to the Guestbook pages of the Richmond Times-Dispatch (2006) to see how far-reaching Chuck's influence extended. There are entries from hundreds of people, from three continents and almost every State in the Union. Many claimed to have considered him their mentor, although they may not have had the privilege of actually meeting him in person. I read and re-read those Guest Book entries and numerous articles on mentoring excellence while planning this tribute. My conclusion: Chuck's life is the embodiment of what it means to be a mentor. Chuck was a mentor as much as he was a man, a native Virginian, a brunette, a Chermside... it was just what he was. He did not have to decide to be mentor; others only had to decide to be his mentee. It was in his genetic code. Mentoring was not a learned skill for Chuck; it was a God-given, natural talent. We can learn to be good mentors by practicing the mentoring skills Chuck bestowed upon us. There is certainly a mentoring void with Chuck's passing; and knowing Chuck, he would prefer that we fill it rather than feel it. He had a mission, a life purpose that was to share what he had learned with anyone and everyone that might benefit from that knowledge. It was important to him to see research administration advance as a profession. Even after retirement as Emeritus Director of Sponsored Programs from Virginia Commonwealth University, he spent his time reading regulations, answering the Research Admin Listserve questions, and giving presentations at professional meetings. Chuck's participation in the leadership of the Research Administration Certification Council at the end of his career was not to benefit himself, but to share with others and encourage them toward excellence. The Times-Dispatch Guestbook displays a continuous flow of certain descriptive words and phrases. These heartfelt expressions came from people who worked with him for years on a daily basis. These words were from those who enjoyed seeing him once or twice a year at professional meetings; those who had only spoken with him by phone; and those who never interacted with him but saved his answers to questions on the Research Admin Listserve. The words used to describe Chuck from various points of the globe were consistent. They were the description of what it means to be a good mentor. Repeatedly we read: * Chuck was a wealth of knowledge. Chuck made it his business to know the regulations, the guidelines, the principles and even the history of our profession (as well as botany, ballroom dancing, and scouting, which were his other passions). * Chuck was generous. …" @default.
