Dr. John Wiorkowski, a professor emeritus of management and former longtime vice provost at The University of Texas at Dallas, died Feb. 6 at the age of 80. In 2001 Wiorkowski was named vice provost, a position he held until his retirement in 2019. “The knowledge and insight he brought to his vice provost role, particularly with his knowledge of faculty workload, was exceeded only by his enthusiasm for making UT Dallas a better place. “As I now teach the same course that Dr. Wiorkowski taught, I always think back to his balance of teaching statistical calculations with teaching how to ask the right question. In addition to his wife, Wiorkowski is survived by his son, Dr. Winter Wiorkowski; his brother, Alan Wiorkowski; his sister Janice Wiorkowski Ziroli; two stepsons, and three step-grandchildren.
