Former Faculty Member Georgitis Passes Away

William James Georgitis, who had a 30-year career in the University of Maine Chemistry Department starting in 1956, passed away May 19.

“Bill was an easygoing and friendly teacher who taught general chemistry to generations of UMaine students,” remembers Francois Amar, chairman of the Department of Chemistry. “He was always ready to stop in the hall to chat and share stories with colleagues or students and invited the whole department to memorable gatherings at Stanley Point in Steuben.”

His obituary is available online.
