学者兼教师 丽贝卡·L. Walkowitz, who is currently the Dean of Humanities and distinguished professor in the Department of English at Rutgers University’s School of Arts and Sciences, has been named Barnard’s new 教务长 and 学院院长. 

On June 1, Walkowitz will succeed Linda A. Bell, who has served as 教务长 and 学院院长 since 2012 and will remain a member of Barnard’s 教师. Walkowitz’s appointment resulted from a comprehensive 国家 search process that began last fall following Bell’s decision to step down from her administrative role.

“十大电竞游戏综合排名 is thrilled to welcome Rebecca, and her passion for cross-disciplinary teaching and research, to our tight-knit community,” says President Laura Rosenbury. “Rebecca’s academic leadership will ensure that Barnard remains one of the most dynamic colleges in the world.”
