Colangelo
WHEREAS John W. Colangelo has announced his retirement from the Music
Faculty of Millersville University after twenty-eight years of teaching;
and
WHEREAS Professor Colangelo has brought great honor to the university
through his musical performance on and off campus, thus also attracting
many students to his departmental studio; and
WHEREAS he has brought continued inspiration to faculty and students
alike for his oustanding musicianship in performance on clarinet and
saxophone; and
WHEREAS in his teaching Professor Colangelo has raised the sights and
capabilities of hundreds of students, many of whom have in turn honored
themselves, their performance instructor and the entire department and
university because of his expert teaching; and
WHEREAS he has contributed mightily to curriculum development from the
outset of the music degree program, including the valuable, even if
uninitiated "Colangelo Plan;" and
WHEREAS he has been a major force in departmental student recruitment,
organizing and reporting on these important activities; and
WHEREAS in his role as Assistant Chairperson he has coordinated and
attended to untold numbers of student auditions, maintenance and
custodial concerns, and other responsibilities too numerous to mention;
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Music Faculty of Millersville thank
and congratulate Prof. Colangelo for the many assets and contributions he
has brought to us and to our students; and further
BE IT RESOLVED that we commit ourselves to continuing the good work with
which he has so bounteously blessed us, our students, and the university;
and
BE IT RESOLVED that we take his example in performance and teaching as a
continuing source of inspiration as we pursue his level of excellence in
these regards; and further
BE IT RESOLVED we wish him and his lovely wife Audrey a long and happy
period of retirement, filled with music making and listening and all the
other pleasures of life relieved of professional duty in this department
and university; and finally
BE IT RESOLVED that we recommend Mr. Colangelo for the rank of Associate
Professor of Music Emeritus.
