Vincent A. Cicirello

A chemistry professor at Drexel University back in mid-1990s. She was entertaining even during a lecture. I still remember one class where she started by inhaling a balloon full of sulfur hexafluoride and then started lecturing in a funny voice as a result as if everything was normal. I took Chem I and II both with this Professor. Chem III conflicted with a required course so I couldn't officially take it. But I regularly skipped the course I was in (as long as I wasn't missing a test) to audit her Chem III lecture. It isn't easy to keep a lecture hall with 100-200 students engaged, but she did so on a regular basis. R.I.P. Dr Sally Solomon.
