The Rectorate of the State University of Haiti (UEH) learned with deep sadness the passing away of the former Rector Pierre Marie Michel Paquiot on the morning of November 23, 2016, in a hospital center of Cuba.

Pierre Marie Michel Paquiot has carried out post-graduate studies in mathematics and fundamental applications in theoretical physics at the University of Science and Technology of Languedoc in Montpellier, France.

Back in Haiti, he devoted himself to higher education and worked at the "Centre de Techniques de Planification et d’Économie Appliquée", to the "École Normale Supérieure", to the "Faculté des Sciences". First elected Rector of UEH, he led the institution for 10 years, from 1998 to 2008.

After two terms at the head of UEH, he resumed his activities in 2008 at the Faculty of Sciences of UEH, whose he became a member of the Directorate Council.

The Rectorate of the UEH bowed respectfully to the remains of Rector Paquiot and prayed his relatives, especially his wife, Mrs. Marie Viviane Mathieu and her two daughters Rashida Gamila and Leila Keshia, to accept the expressions of its emotional condolences.

May he rest in peace!

Moreover, de facto President Jocelerme Privert, salutes the memory of Professor Paquiot. His condolences go first to his family, then to his friends and to the Haitian academic community.

Jocelerme Privert highlights in a note the brilliant career of Pierre-Marie Paquiot within the UEH and affirms that his death is a blow to the university community and the Haitian youth.
