*** SPECIAL FEATURE: ALUMNI REMEMBER FAVORITE PROFESSORS ***
We are still happy to accept your remarks about your favorite
VCU business professors at bus-alum@vcu.edu
Dr. William R. George (Marketing) was and is my favorite professor
throughout my academic career. When I first enrolled in the VCU
business school as an undergraduate, I was not sure which path
I was going to take...advertising, marketing, or some other business
specialty. I took the introductory class to marketing under Dr.
George and was hooked for life. I found his teaching and delivery
style engaging and thought provoking. His ability to spark discussions,
challenge thinking, and encourage students to think through implications
of both the strategic and tactical sides of marketing made the
subject exciting and fun. I took every class I could taught by
Dr. George while I was at VCU. And I took the lessons and education
with me throughout grad school and ultimately through out my life
long career in sales and marketing.
- Elizabeth Altman Bush (BS ’79), Falls Church, VA
Dr. Ann Robertson (Statistics), who has been deceased since the
summer of 1989, should be remembered. I was a student worker for
the Business Management Department, to which she was assigned,
and I had "feared" taking her statistics class. I was
pleasantly surprised when I finally had her as a professor. She
was a "tough" teacher because she wanted us all to learn
and succeed in the business world. I got to know her and she was
a warm, caring and helpful professor. I was saddened to hear she
passed away a year after I graduated. I am thankful to have known
her and have often thought of her because she was one of those
people that made me a better person for having known her.
– Cyndi (Hart) Dunn (BS '88), Fairfax Station, VA
I had Dr. Dennis O'Toole (Economics) for my Money & Banking
class while at VCU. I still remember that class as being one of
my favorites and loved the "Big Thumb" lecture. Great
Guy! Hope he is well.
– Ron Evans (BS’96), Richmond, VA
Even though it has been 30 years ago, I can still remember professors
such as Guy D’Genario, Robert Scott, Edward Coffman, and
John Sperry who all had a tremendous impact on my academic development
and preparation for Law school.
– Eric D. Whitesell (BS’75), Tazewell, VA
