Room 308 |
Director of Finance and Administration
George M. Santangelo
Bologna alumna from the Class of 1969, and Advisory Council member, Georgia Santangelo
Derrico and her husband Roderick Porter decided to generously respond to the Bologna Building
Campaign appeal by naming a room, notably the Director of Finance and Administration's Office,
in the Center's building after Georgia's late father, Dr. George M. Santangelo (1917-2002).
Dr. George M. Santangelo graduated from City College, NY and received a Doctorate of
Dental Surgery from the University of Pennsylvania. He served as Captain in the Dental Corps
of the Air Force of the United States. Dr. Santangelo practiced dentistry and orthodontia for
forty years and served on the Orthodontia Board for the State of New York.
"He was an ardent believer in education and strongly supported my attending the Bologna
Center. The gift to Johns Hopkins Bologna Center has been presented to honor his memory,"
says Georgia.
Prior to this gift, Georgia and Rod also established the Dr. George M. Santangelo Fellowship
program to offer financial support to Bologna Center students of Italian-American descent,
primarily through the Alpha Phi Delta Fraternity members. Since its inception in 2004, the Fund
has benefitted five brilliant students at the Bologna Center. |
