Wally Cordes Chair: Conversations With Colleagues
The Wally Cordes Teaching and Faculty Support Center has established the "Wally Cordes Chair" to honor its co-founder and first co-director and to celebrate an inspiring teacher and his wonderful career. Cordes was a faculty member in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry for more than 30 years. He was regarded by many as simply one of the very best teachers on campus. He had a unique style and an enthusiasm that was contagious.
The inaugural conversation will be hosted by Ro Di Brezzo, vice provost for faculty development and interim vice provost for diversity and inclusion, at 3 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 21, in the Pederson Conference room (ADMN 428). All faculty are invited. Refreshments and snacks, Wally-style, will be served.
