Message from the Dean 2021-2022

Dear Colleagues, I am pleased to share the 2021-2022 Faculty and Staff Yearbook, an annual tradition of recording and celebrating scholarly and creative activity, administrative achievements, honors received, and fond farewells to those retiring after years of service to the college and university. As this yearbook attests, our faculty engaged in a rich variety of scholarly and creative work and our staff implemented numerous operational initiatives that improved college operations. While these undertakings are noted piecemeal throughout the year in our newsletter and blog, the yearbook gives us a more complete portrait of our college as a place of innovation, productivity, and inspiration. I would like to thank Allison DeVries for overseeing the development of the Faculty and Staff Yearbook, and the Ideation Lab for the design. In addition, I want to offer my heartfelt gratitude to faculty member Dr. Robert Slayton (History) for his lifelong commitment to excellence in scholarship, teaching, and service and to Senior Administrative Assistant Kristen Laakso (English) for her unwavering dedication to English faculty and students. We wish them well in their retirement. Congratulations to our faculty and staff on a wonderful year!

Jennifer D. Keene Dean, Wilkinson College of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences The heart and soul of Chapman University
