College honors distinguished Emeriti Dr. Andrew Virgilio
A tree was planted recently in the front lawn of Hartwell Hall at the College of Brockport to honor Dr. Andrew Virgilio.
Now a Greece resident who travels south in the winter, Virgilio had a distinguished career at Brockport serving as a campus school principal, a department head, and dean, earning many honors. He also served as a state assemblyman for two terms.
College president John Halstead spoke of Virgilio’s many accomplishments. It was an occasion which attracted many emeriti and towns people, former students and colleagues. Rosie Rich, Sue Virgilio, Andy Virgilio, Francis Maroney-Whitehead and Jeanette D’Agostino Banker gathered for a group photo at the tree planting.
