We are sending our best wishes to two of our DDI colleagues. Lorraine Stinebiser, director, Office of Faculty Diversity and Recruitment has accepted a new position in the College of Art and Design as Assistant Dean for Administrative Services effective November 8th. We thank her for a decade of work advancing the recruitment of talented BIPOC and women scholars and artists for faculty roles. We are also saying goodbye and best wishes to Ezgi Erdogan who is also embracing a new opportunity. It’s hard to believe she joined the Office of Faculty Diversity and Recruitment team as the new faculty recruitment assistant just two years ago! We will miss you both!
