Joseph M. Cheruvelil
Professor Joseph M. Cheruvelil was born and brought up in the Lake District of Kerala, India. Often described as God’s Own Country, the state is well-known for its lush green mountains, spice estates, rice fields, coconut groves, white sandy beaches, and snake-boat races. Educated in Kerala, Illinois, and Mississippi, he served on the faculty of the English department at St. John’s University in New York City for many years until his retirement in 2005. He was awarded the University’s Gold Medal for Outstanding Achievement in Teaching. He currently serves as a member of the board of directors of the Spartan Health Sciences University in St. Lucia. A loyal son of Mother India, now a US citizen, he is a widely traveled and well-read observer of life in several countries. For decades, he has been very active in the Indian community in New York. He is a founding member of several organizations including Kerala Samajam of Greater New York, the Pioneer Club of Keralites, Bharath Boat Club, and the American Sargavedi, a monthly forum for literary discussions. He is involved with various nonprofit organizations and has authored several articles for Indian-themed publications.
