Lessons in Leadership: Walter Cragnolin

Utica alumni reflect on the professors who made a lasting impact.
The most memorable professor I ever had was Professor Walter Cragnolin in the construction management department. He was such a practical teacher. He helped me understand basic business principles and devise practical, smart solutions to challenging issues. He instilled in me the importance of caring about the quality of one’s work (no misspellings!). His teachings at that stage of my life left a lasting impression. That experience and what I learned helped me to become a CEO of two significant companies in the construction industry.
