Dr. Jim Courtright received his bachelor鈥檚 degree from Yale University and his PhD from Johns Hopkins University in 1967. Jim came to 探花视频 in 1970 as an Assistant Professor, was promoted to Associate Professor in 1976, and to Professor in 1982.

Dr. Courtright turned his interest from research to teaching in the late 1980s. He taught a wide variety of courses at the introductory level and to non-science majors. He used new information, review, and revision of course materials and upgrades to his lectures and labs to make this happen. He was involved in the authorship of and received external grants totaling $258,352 for instructional equipment. As Dr. Robert Fitts writes, "I do believe that Jim's excitement about research has been transferred to multiple students over the years, and that this has been one of his most important contributions to our department's research program." Prior to 1991, he had been a consistent researcher with a good record of publication, conference participation, and grantsmanship. He continued conference participation throughout his career.

Dr. Courtright excelled in service to the department, the college, and the university. He chaired the Institutional Biohazard Committee from 2003-2014, and served on numerous university committees including Core Curriculum Review, Patent Policy Advisory Committee on Research, Biomedical Ethics Committee and the University Academic Senate, to name a few. Dr. Robert Fitts states, "...Jim has been a terrific department citizen. As the department chair for nine years, I cannot remember a time when [he] did not take on and complete with excellence a service assignment."
