announcement today to notify our <i>What's Hot in Literacy </i>community about the passing of Dr. Jack Cassidy on May 22, 2021. As a member of the Reading Hall of Fame, former President of the International Reading Association (youngest of all time), co-founder
to the Specialized Literacy Professionals SIG, and co-founder of the Texas Association of Literacy Educators, Jack’s fingerprints can be found everywhere in the field of literacy education.</span><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri, sans-serif;color:rgb(32,31,30);"><u></u> <u></u></span></div>
<div style="margin:0in;font-size:12pt;font-family:New serif;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri, sans-serif;color:rgb(33,33,33);border:1pt none windowtext;padding:0in;"> </span><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri, sans-serif;color:rgb(32,31,30);"><u></u> <u></u></span></div>

to Jack Cassidy through his annual <i>What’s Hot in Literacy</i> survey. He partnered with different individuals on the annual survey, often times giving astute graduate students and early career professors the exposure for career enhancement. He didn’t have
to do this, but he chose to. It’s a microcosm of his benevolent efforts of providing others opportunities to excel.</span><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri, sans-serif;color:rgb(32,31,30);"><u></u> <u></u></span></div>

conferences, meeting with others, and giving presentations (or putting on a show as we like to call it). He had an infectious presence, and he could command a room effortlessly. His communicative approach married information dissemination with playful banter.
If his name was in the program, you could be rest assured it would be the most highly attended event at that time. That’s the Jack we all knew, and the one we loved.</span><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri, sans-serif;color:rgb(32,31,30);"><u></u> <u></u></span></div>

his focus from academia to his family including his grandchildren. He had confidence that others, such as ourselves, would continue his line of inquiry navigating research that matters; instruction poised to make a difference; and outreach efforts situated
in diverse communities of promise. His legacy remains far beyond hot topics in literacy. His mentorship and selfless creation of opportunities for others serves as a foundation for all of us to strive. We struggle writing this message but know he remains with
us in spirit and commitment to supporting others through education. </span></div>
