Dr. Stephen L. Weber, former president of San Diego State University from 1996 through 2011, has died, SDSU President Adela de la Torre said Monday.
"This is a devastating loss, as Weber was beloved and highly regarded by many at SDSU, in our local community and across the country," de la Torre said in a statement. Weber positioned SDSU for greater educational access and economic development,"which he regularly said were two significant drivers of a thriving society," according to SDSU officials."Throughout his 15-year tenure, the university saw historic increases in student success -- including improved academic rankings and rising graduation rates that outpaced many others in the nation.
Weber's impact also applied to student athletics, resulting in a competitive sports program, according to de la Torre. In the 2010-11 season, the Aztecs football team competed in a bowl game for the first time since 1998; the men's basketball team broke into the AP top 25, followed by the top four later; and the women's basketball team won Mountain West championship and advanced to the Sweet Sixteen in the National Collegiate Athletic Association tournament.
