Trucks, Trains and Passion for Teaching
Thomas Corsi’s faculty office has that homey look of someone who has really settled in. Decorations include framed watercolors of trainyards that his father painted, a University of Maryland logo an aunt cross-stitched, and sports posters from his hometown Cleveland teams. One poster shows the starting lineup of the 1949 Indians, “the year I was born,” Corsi says. Then there is the collection of miniature semi-tractor trailers and freight trains, fitting for a guy who has made his career studying the trucking industry, logistics and supply chains.
