Robert H. Quinn, who passed away in January 2014, cofounded UMass Boston in 1964. The university established the Robert H. Quinn Award to honor community members in 1987, and named its administration building after Bob Quinn in 1988. This video, a tribute to Quinn's legacy on and off the UMass Boston campus, was shown at the Annual Community Breakfast on March 13, 2014. It features Boston Mayor Marty Walsh, Attorney General Martha Coakley, and UMass Boston Chancellor J. Keith Motley, among others.Photos provided by: University Archives and Special Collections, Harry Brett, the Dorchester Reporter, and Phil Carver.To learn more about Bob Quinn, visit: http://www.umb.edu/news/detail/umass_boston_mourns_the_passing_of_robert_quinnTo watch the speaking portion of the 28th Annual Community Breakfast, visit: http://youtu.be/xnH9LOx9HZk
