Jenn Joy Wilson Promoted to CFA Associate Dean for Research

It gives me great pleasure to announce the promotion of Jenn Joy Wilson to Associate Dean for Research in the College of Fine Arts. Jenn Joy has played a crucial part in expanding, enriching and defining the nature of research in CFA since she was hired as the Manager of Grants Administration in 2016. Her subsequent promotions to Senior Manager of Sponsored Projects and then to Assistant Dean for Research Development and Sponsored Projects illustrate the trajectory her work with us has followed. She has focused on professional development for faculty, on the inclusion of creative practice in our self-definition of research, and on social impact as a reflection of our priorities as a community. Her new role will give her the opportunity to work across the highest levels of the university as an advocate and catalyst for the research enterprise at CFA.

Please join me in congratulating Jenn Joy on her new position.
