News:
| The Department is very sorry to announce that Victor
Giardini, 54 died on April 7, 2007, at the Hospital of
the University of Pennsylvania from complications
following treatment for multiple myeloma. Mr. Giardini
began teaching for the Department of Business
Administration in the College of Business and Economics
at the University of Delaware in the fall of 1999. In
the fall of 2000, he was offered a position of visiting
instructor and, as worded in a message from his family,
“found an immensely satisfying career.” Mr. Giardini
quickly endeared himself to faculty, staff and students
and loved teaching and the interaction with both
students and colleagues.
As a way of recognizing Mr. Giardini's contributions
to his students and his positive impact on the faculty
and staff, efforts are under way to establish the Victor
Giardini Scholarship. The fund will serve to perpetuate
the memory of Victor Giardini and the ideals and
qualities he exemplified, especially the optimistic
spirit he shared with his students and colleagues. This
fund will support the undergraduate education of
outstanding students in UD's Lerner College of Business
and Economics who are studying business administration
and who show enthusiasm for learning, encouragement
toward their fellow students and perseverance.
