City College business law instructor and former president of the Los  Rios Community College Board of Trustees Fred A. Dawkins, died Sept.  26 at the age of 56.

Dawkins, had taught at City College since 2001 and became a tenured instructor in 2008. The Harvard Law School graduate  began his education in the Los Rios District starting at Cosumnes  River College, where he later received his B.A. at Sacramento State  University.

“Mr. Dawkins was himself a product of Cosumnes River College and he  always credited the college for giving him the start and the foundation that propelled him all the way to graduation from Harvard Law School,” said Susie Williams, the LRCCD associate vice chancellor for Communications and Research.

According to Williams, Dawkins was an outstanding trustees board member, serving as president of the board twice. Williams said Dawkins’ students enjoyed his classes and thought highly of him as a professor.

Dawkins also left a positive impression on his colleagues like Debra Crumpton.

“He was a close colleague,” Crumpton said. “He was a generous person. I would describe him as intellectually rich. He had wealth of not only knowledge, but experience that he was always willing to share. I thought he was a spellbinding educator.”
