2013 Commencement Speaker
Distinguished Teaching Professor of English Ronald Herzman

The college continues its long tradition of inviting Distinguished Teaching Professors to speak at commencement. Distinguished Teaching Professor of English Ronald Herzman will address students and their families.

"Ron Herzman is one of the very best teachers anywhere, a national award winner, and a superb teacher of teachers," says President Christopher C. Dahl. "Almost by definition he will have interesting things to say to our graduates. On a more personal level, Ron was my first 'boss' at Geneseo. When I came to Geneseo in 1994, he was chair of the English department and warmly welcomed me to our academic community. Things have come full circle now. This will be my last commencement as president, and I am looking forward to hearing from my old boss and longtime colleague in English."
