I'm happy to share the news that I've been promoted to full professor.

I've been thinking a lot about how lucky I’ve been to work with so many great people. A partial list follows:

I’m deeply grateful to Pat Callan and Joni Finney for getting me started in this work and providing me with an example of how to be a passionate advocate for increased opportunity for higher education.

In grad school I was incredibly lucky to have stellar academic mentors, including the amazing Myra Strober as my advisor, along with @Michael_Kirst , Susanna Loeb, and Anthony Antonio.

At @vupeabody , I’ve been so fortunate to work with exceptionally supportive senior colleagues, including John Braxton, Ellen Goldring, @CJ_Heinrich, @gthenry4 , Joe Murphy and Tom Smith. Dean Benbow has supported me every step of the way.

I get to collaborate with incredibly smart people, including Jennifer Delaney, Bill Zumeta, @jimhearn4 (who hired me in the first place), @cmokher and Michael McLendon.

I’ve also been lucky enough to have truly wonderful students who have gone on to do great work, including @bakerdphd, @rslbliss , @MaryHutchensPhD, Jungmin Lee, @ChrisMarsicano , Alex Gorbunov, Justin Shepherd, @btskinner and Timothy Zeidner.

I truly love doing this work, in no small part because I get to do it with such great people. There are many more than are on this list-- I'm grateful for all.
