Ganesan "Ravi" Ravishanker, associate vice president for Information Technology Services, adjunct associate professor of chemistry, was honored with a farewell celebration Aug. 13 in Daniel Family Commons. Ravishanker worked at Wesleyan 23 years. Joe Bruno, vice president for Academic Affairs and provost, shares his memories about working with Ravi.
John Meerts, vice president for finance and administration, "bribes" Ravi with a gift during the farewell celebration. Ravi will begin a new career as the vice president and chief information officer at Pace University. He will be responsible for supporting computing at Pace's three New York campuses in White Plains, Westchester and Manhattan.
Billy Weitzer, a former senior associate provost at Wesleyan, pokes fun at Ravi for his “paperless desk” and organizational skills. He held up a photo, describing it as “Ravi’s garage at home.”
More than 100 Wesleyan faculty, staff and friends attended the farewell celebration. (Photos by Olivia Bartlett Drake)
