Dr. Petrucci served as professor of chemistry, chair of the Natural Sciences Division, and dean of academic planning. The successful growth of CSUSB was truly Ralph Petrucci’s pride and joy. During his career as a chemistry professor, Dr. Petrucci was also a successful author of the textbook, ‘General Chemistry,’ which has been used by countless students around the globe. The textbook continues to be used in colleges and universities today and is in its 10th edition.”—Brett J. Stanley, colleague
