This Torch Medal is given to Adrian Giurgea, Professor of Theater and Chair of the Theater Department, by Courtney Miller ’12.
Torch Medals honor a Colgate faculty or staff member who made a meaningful impact on an alum during their time at Colgate. Alumni in the reunion classes of 2007 and 2012 are invited to give a Torch Medal, delivered virtually, to a present or past member of the faculty or staff. See more Torch Medals, and give yours here.
“Adrian was my FSEM professor, and I instantly felt comfortable with him. He was by far the most influential and special professor I had at Colgate. Throughout my four years, our relationship grew immensely, and I found myself coming to him for advice in other aspects of my life…not just theatre. I ended up minoring in theatre mostly because of his (and his amazing wife’s) guidance. My experience at Colgate would NOT have been the same with him. And I’m so grateful. ”
