SPECIAL EPISODE: Remembering Professor John Crawley

Perseverantia: Fitchburg State University Podcast Network

In this special episode, Perseverantia suggests a podcast that might have been. Business Administration Professor John Crawley had discussed doing a podcast series of the fun advice he gives student, meant to be a light-hearted interjection to our series.
But we never got that chance. John Crawley passed away May 1, 2024. As a result, we decided to ask for contributions of memories and recordings to make a small attempt to capture some of the many pieces of advice and meaningful moments he had with students.
This episode compiles some of those contributions, both containing Professor Crawley’s voice and readings of memories submitted by students and colleagues.

In his memory, the John Crawley Scholarship has been established at Fitchburg State University to continue his legacy of giving back.

To donate, checks can be mailed to the Fitchburg State University Foundation – 160 Pearl Street Fitchburg, MA 01420 – with Dr. Crawley's name on the memo line of the check. Gifts can also be made online at: https://alumni.fitchburgstate.edu/g/john-crawley-scholarship.

Thank you to Sandra Ciccone, Ellen Hughes, and all those who contributed memories, artifacts, and recordings used to make this episode.
