Scheideman, who joined the faculty in 1981 as a part-time instructor, became a full-time academic advisor and then, upon completing his doctorate through the College of Education at DePaul, an assistant professor. His interests centered on intellectual history, literature and film, and adult learning.
Over the years, Scheideman served as a faculty mentor for hundreds of students in the undergraduate program. He also taught ethics in the graduate liberal learning seminar series and qualitative inquiry in the Master of Arts in educating adults program. His areas of expertise included British mysteries, military history, and the social history of Chicago and Oak park. Scheideman published at least 100 articles and papers in these areas.
"I met Warren shortly after I came to SNL/DePaul in late 1983, in my capacity as associate dean/faculty mentor," says Professor Catherine Marienau. "I had numerous occasions to participate with Warren on students' academic committees, observe his classroom teaching (both undergraduate and graduate), and listen to many stories from appreciative students who had Warren as a course instructor or faculty mentor. Warren was masterful at listening to each person, drawing out the sparks of a person's curiosity, and supporting further development of that person's intellectual capacities."
Marienau adds, "On a personal note, I had occasion to drive Warren home to Oak Park at least once a week over many years. I never minded the heavy traffic or evening blinding snowstorms because the conversation with Warren was always engaging and illuminating."

Warren was a wonderful man - he always found time to read over my research papers and encourage me during my Graduate studies years. My kids loved to talk to him in the courtyard. Always with a bright eyed smile and word of encouragement. He will be missed.
ReplyDeleteHe was a gift to many and such a great friend to all of his students. He was my mentor and I will miss him so dearly. I am so sorry to hear that he has passed away so young.
