He began his career at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas in the College of Business’ Economics Department. At UNLV, Professor Cronovich was awarded the College of Business Teacher of the Year Award three times and the UNLV Distinguished Teaching Award twice.

This passion led him to Carthage in 2008. About Carthage, Professor Cronovich says “I love the sense of community here, the focus on teaching excellence, the wonderful students, the amazing faculty—and the Lake! The environment here is really conducive to my growth as a teacher, and working here is also a lot of fun!”
