The Institute of Applied Agriculture is proud to have another M.V.P. (Most Valuable Professor) among its faculty. On February 20, Ed Priola, IAA Oral Communication Lecturer was recognized by the University of Maryland Wrestling team as one of the university’s outstanding educators.
Priola was nominated by his former student Joe Barber, a 125-pound freshman wrestler from North Syracuse, NY. Maryland’s athletics department believes top-notch instructors are imperative to the success of student athletes and recognizes professors who are nominated by the athletes. Priola joined the IAA faculty in 2012.
