John F. Csomor, a member of North Georgia College’s political-science faculty from 1967 to 1996, died on January 2 at the age of 83.

During almost all of Professor Csomor’s time at NGC, he was one of the two political-science faculty members in the Department of Social Sciences. He was an expert on politics in the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe. He taught courses about the Soviet Union, courses in comparative government and international relations, and the “Introduction to Political Science” course.

Professor Csomor was greatly appreciated by his colleagues throughout the college for his varied forms of service to the students and faculty. He served on numerous college committees, frequently including the Faculty Affairs Committee.

He held bachelor’s and master’s degrees from Indiana University and was a veteran of the U. S. Air Force.

Our department expresses its sympathy to his daughter Susan, who completed her master of education degree in English at UNG last summer, and his grandson Ethan.
