Drew Today

Look Who’s New

Faculty first-years in the Brothers College courtyard.

If there’s a need for nametags at the September faculty meeting, there’s a reason.

Twenty-one faculty members recently arrived in the Forest, bringing with them the inevitable questions newbies ask: Is it the white oak leaf that has rounded edges? Or the pin oak?

A warm welcome goes to the new professors listed below, who earned their terminal degrees from the institutions in parentheses.–Renée Olson
