Hello, everyone,
I hope the return to in-person instruction is going well for you and your students.
I am happy to share that we are back to hiring tenure track faculty members after a pause in TT searches last year. Several departments are in the final stages of bringing new full-time faculty members, tenure track and non-tenure track to join us next fall.
Meanwhile, you have made remarkable accomplishments through this recent wave in the pandemic. Make sure and take a look below at the amazing things our academic community members have done.
As we return to in-person instruction, we are returning to a combination of virtual and in-person events. Some events like Pathways to Professional Formation's LinkUp have been delayed, others like the Provost’s Convocation are expected to run on schedule. I hope to see you virtually or in person soon!

Fellowships and Dean’s Research Fellowships for 2022
Deadline for applications: March 1, 2022
Faculty in the College of Arts and Sciences are invited to apply for Faculty Research Fellowships, Promotion Fellowship and Dean’s Research Fellowships. Each award carries a $5,000 summer stipend.
The Faculty Research Fellowship is intended to support peer reviewed publication (or jury-reviewed presentation, in the case of the arts). Both tenured and tenure-track faculty are invited to apply for the FRF. In addition, full time non-tenure-track faculty having the rank of Senior Instructor/Senior Lecturer may apply for the FRF. Two FRFs will be awarded this year.
The Promotion Fellowship is intended to assist Associate Professors develop their scholarly productivity toward the rank of Full Professor. In addition to the stipend, each promotion fellowship includes some funds for research expenses. To be eligible for the Promotion Fellowship, faculty must have 7 or more years at the rank of associate professor. Preference will be given to applicants whose scholarly or creative record suggests that they are within approximately two years of achieving promotion but could benefit from the additional development support toward achieving it. There will be one award in this category.
The Dean’s Research Fellowship provides funds for faculty to work with students on faculty scholarship, providing the student an experience of scholarly research while advancing the faculty member’s scholarly work. Each fellowship will include an extra $2,000 for projects that involve student research. These additional funds will be used as a stipend to pay a student researcher. Please indicate your interest in a student research assistant by briefly describing the student’s responsibilities and opportunities for intellectual contribution to the project above and beyond providing support work, as well as how the student will benefit from this experience. Support for this award is provided by donors to the College who contribute specifically to this fellowship, and this year we hope two awards will be given in this category.
The awards are subject to available funding. Please note that applicants may apply for more than one category of fellowship but may only receive one. Faculty who received one of these Fellowships within the last two years are not eligible to apply. Faculty who accept the award as a summer stipend may not teach more than one summer course.
To apply for the Fellowships, please submit the following:
Please submit applications (paperless, electronically only) to Dr. Sonora Jha, Associate Dean of Academic Community and cc Kate Reynolds by March 1, 2022.

Silent Lullaby for Lost Souls, art installation by Naomi Kasumi
Through February 22, Monday-Friday, 9 a.m.-4:30 p.m.
Public Reception: February 17, 4:30 p.m.
Vachon Gallery
The installation Silent Lullaby for Lost Souls is part of Kasumi’s process in attempting to understand the historic events during Japan’s period of Isolationist foreign policy (鎖国 “locked country”) from 1603–1868, and the persecution and extermination of Christianity in Japan. During these years, Christians practiced their faith in secret to avoid persecution; an uncountable number of Japanese Christians and missionaries were tortured and killed. A reflection of her research and field study in Nagasaki and Amakusa, Kumamoto in Japan in 2020, this work is her emotional and artistic response to the history, intellectually fused in the form. The “cross-shaped” paper objects featured in this piece are inspired by these clandestine Christians, who cut the thin Japanese calligraphy paper 3”x 3” and folded, sometimes placed in their home for a specific ritual or hidden in their chest pocket as their charm. Kasumi intuitively sensed that those souls were lost, still seeking maternal love and compassion. The circular form of collected white objects formed the portal for another world to travel back to where they belong to rest their soul. This is Kasumi’s lullaby to these lost souls. She hopes they hear the silent song, “It’s safe and now you can sleep.” More information available here.

March 3, 12:30 pm
