Candidate Statement

Academic excellence, fairness, inclusion and recognition of true merit and signifiers of impactful contributions of our faculty represent, to me, foundational values for an excellent institution of higher learning. As a member of the Arts and Sciences Advisory Committee for the Social Sciences I will uphold these values and will strive to bring transparency, rigor as well as fairness to the committee's deliberations.
