Biographical Note

James (Jim) O. Glanville was born in London, England, and traveled to the United States to enroll in a doctoral program for physical and inorganic chemistry at the University of Maryland. He began teaching as a visiting professor at Virginia Tech in 1978 after 11 years of teaching at Virginia Western Community College. Glanville left Virginia Tech to work in the private sector before returning to teach at Virginia Tech in 1984. In 1996, he was the recipient of the Sporn Award for Teaching Introductory Studies. In addition, Glanville authored the first General Chemistry textbook designed specifically for engineering students. In 2004, upon his retirement, Virginia Tech awarded Glanville the title of Associate Professor Emeritus of Chemistry.
