Dr. Ignacio J. Ocasio, 1952-2005
Doc Oc, a classically trained pianist and prodigiously talented chemistry professor, came to the Case campus in 1980. Since that time, thousands of students have passed through his chemistry courses and have been infected by his energy, enthusiasm, and dedication. Doc Oc won numerous teaching awards, including the Wittke Award for Distinguished Undergraduate Teaching in 1993.
He was totally dedicated to helping students develop not only academically, but also as members of society. He supported students outside the classroom as well as inside, whether it was through his celebrity judging of the Mr. CWRU contest, as Hudson Relay coach to the first-year class, or as fraternity advisor. Most of all, the University will remember him as a caring friend whose uplifting personality would instantly bring smiles to our faces even on the gloomiest of days.
