Savannah, GA—Armstrong
Atlantic State University professors Frank Clancy (English) and
Richard McGrath (Economics) were named "AASU Instructors of
the Year" by the regional unit of the Naval Reserve Officers
Training Corps (NROTC). The award was presented at a NROTC gathering
held at Savannah State University.
Clancy spent two years living in Dublin, Ireland, attending programs
on Irish literature at Trinity College, Dublin, and at University
College, Dublin. He worked at the Georgia Gazette as sports editor
and feature sports columnist from 1981 to 1984 when the Gazette
won the Pulitzer Prize for journalism. Clancy has been at AASU since
1974.
McGrath’s research interests include household consumption
and saving, regional economics, economic development and tax evasion.
He has conducted research studies for the Savannah Convention and
Visitors Bureau, Savannah Economic Development Authority and Chatham
Effingham Tobacco Use Prevention Coalition.
The regional NROTC program is a joint unit between Savannah State
University and Armstrong Atlantic State University. NROTC students
at AASU voted on professors based on their academic presentations,
leadership in the classroom and willingness to work with students
and the regional program.
