Chemistry Lab Dedicated in Memory of Bill Wysochansky

During a special ceremony Friday, April 21, Georgia Southwestern State University’s Analytical Chemistry Laboratory was named in memory of the late William “Bill” Wysochansky, Ph.D. The ceremony took place just outside of the lab, which is located on the third floor of the Joseph C. Roney Building - Room 315.

Wysochansky died in February of 2015. He retired from GSW in 2006 after serving nearly 30 years as a professor of chemistry, while serving as dean of the College of Arts and Sciences for some of those years. He also served as the Faculty Advisor for the Eta Alpha Chapter of Zeta Tau Alpha sorority and Delta Pi Chapter of Chi Phi Fraternity.

During the ceremony, Wysochansky’s widow, Mary Wysochansky Foegelle, presented a check to complete an endowed scholarship for nursing and chemistry students at Georgia Southwestern.
