Dr. Svedlow holds a special place in my heart for several reasons. He was, in my opinion, among the best CVPA deans we had at Winthrop. When I was up for tenure/promotion he sought me out on campus for the sole purpose of sharing the good news that I had been awarded tenure/promotion. He wanted to tell me in person and celebrate that moment with me - and that remains a special moment in my memories. I found him to be genuine, sincere, tactfully frank individual who was concerned about the faculty under his control as well as his vision for each department of CVPA at Winthrop. Years after he left Winthrop I contacted him by phone and he remembered me as if we'd been apart for only a week. I'm saddened by the news of his passing. I lift his family in my prayers for God's comfort and strength.
