PROMOTION
I have been promoted to Professor at Loyola University Chicago! Loyola's faculty includes some of the most talented scholars and teachers I have seen in my life. We are a 140 year old Jesuit research university and as such we have very high standards when it comes to academics, social and scholarly work.
The Department of Fine and Performing Arts has been in existence for as long as I have been working for Loyola. My department is evolving and developing into a multidisciplinary unit of unique profile. I am looking forward to contributing to the growth and enhancement of Loyola University Chicago.
