Jenny Darroch, Dean of the Farmer School of Business (FSB)  shared news of his death in a letter to the FSB and Miami community:

  • It is with tremendous sadness that we share the news of the tragic death of David Shrider while backpacking in Alaska. David graduated from Miami with degrees in finance and economics in 1992, and returned to Oxford as a professor in the department of finance in 2004. He has also served as the director of Global Business Programs since 2017. David was much loved as a valuable friend and colleague of many at the Miami University Farmer School of Business, Miami University, and the Oxford community at large. His positive impact and connection with his students was immeasurable, and resulted in his being named the Outstanding Professor by the Miami University Associated Student Government in 2020. Our thoughts and prayers are with his wife and children.
