Please make a gift to honor Joe’s legacy.
Dr. Joseph Bertorelli obtained his M.S. and Ph.D. in
Mathematics from Purdue University and joined
Queensborough’s Mathematics and Computer Science Department in 1976. He spent
over four decades at Queensborough, enriching the lives of thousands of
students and giving them hope for a brighter future. The former Department
Chairperson was a steward of quality mathematics education, a valued
collaborator, and a trusted mentor in our community. To so many Queensborough
students, Dr. Bertorelli was the ideal math teacher.
To continue his legacy and vision of quality
education, funds are being raised to name a classroom at Queensborough
Community College in Dr. Joseph Bertorelli's honor.
Please make a gift to
honor Joe’s legacy.
Dear Joe,
It is too painful to
know,
We’ve lost our dear
Joe
From him, we can learn
To be honest, modest,
and show true concern
May his family find
solace to know,
We too will miss our Dear
Joe. - Dr.
Eugene Harris
