Patrick Henry Winston cared so much about students.
He wouldn't just spend time crafting lectures (which you can see on OCW), but even spent time re-designing the course to try to improve learning and remove focus on the grades[0].
When students needed help, he was always by their side. When the Star Simpson events were taking place, PHW helped institute policies to better support students[1].
He was a true character. I pieced together a Twitter thread to try to show a glimpse of his personality[2]. MIT will not be the same without him.
