Michael Cusanovich: 1942-2010
“… [Mike Cusanovich] was involved in everything on
campus. He taught a large class in biochemistry, served
on the faculty senate, chaired a senate watchdog
committee called the Committee of Eleven, assisted in
restructuring undergraduate education, and served as
faculty and research advisor to many undergraduate,
graduate, and postdoc students. At various periods, he
was Vice President for Research (10 years), interim
Provost, Chair of Bioindustry of Southern Arizona, and
Director of Arizona Research Laboratories (22 years), and
maintained an active research lab throughout. In 1980, he
also took a leave of absence to serve as a program
director at the National Science Foundation. In 2005, he
was awarded the highest academic honor at UA, that of
Regents Professor. The routine was the same after his
‘‘official’’ retirement in 2008.
Sponsored by The University of Arizona
Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry
…He had many outside interests, including virtually all
sports, horseback riding, archaeology, modeling, reading,
history, stamps, antique weapons, the Southwest, and
native cultures. It is true that life goes on, but it is not as
much fun without him.”
- Dr. Terry Meyer
