Carl George, professor of biology emeritus
A beloved fixture on campus for decades, George died last December at the Schenectady Center following a brief illness. He was 95.
“We look forward to gathering and sharing our stories and memories about Carl,” said Kathleen LoGiudice, professor emerita of biological sciences. “He was a friend and mentor to so many of us, not only on campus, but in the community.”
Though he retired in 1997, George remained very much involved in the life of the College until declining health limited his travel to campus from his home in nearby Glenville.
Survivors include his wife, Christine Cameron ’79, who first met George as a student at Union. The couple married in 2011. George’s first wife, Gail, who passed away in 2008, was an energetic force in the Union community and a champion of dance, theater, music and women’s studies. Her legacy continues in the performing arts.
