"...an ‘entertaining, iconoclastic, and intensely fairminded professor.’”
John Cormican, professor of English, is the 2010 recipient of the Virgil Crisafulli Distinguished Teaching Award. The award was presented to him by Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs Judith Kirkpatrick during Utica College’s May 16 Commencement ceremonies.
“This year’s recipient is practically an institution, both at Utica College and in the community,” Kirkpatrick said. “[He] was nominated for this award by an impressive array of students, faculty, staff, alumni, and community members… one nominator spoke for everyone when he described him as an ‘entertaining, iconoclastic, and intensely fairminded professor.’”
Cormican joined the UC faculty in 1974.
Named for the late Professor Emeritus of Economics Virgil Crisafulli and underwritten by the Crisafulli Fund for the Faculty, the award exemplifies the finest tradition of teaching. It is given annually to a full professor on the recommendation of faculty and students in recognition of demonstrated teaching excellence, dedication, and effectiveness.
