Dean renews Department of Art and Art History chair appointment for Susan Rather

Department of Art and Art History Chair Susan Rather has accepted a three-year renewal of her appointment as chair. Rather has served as chair of the department since spring 2020, after a year as interim chair before that.

 

“I want to extend my sincere gratitude to Susan for her hard work these past five years as chair,” said Ramón H. Rivera-Servera, dean of the College of Fine Arts. “The department has benefitted from her strong work ethic, writing skills, organizational skills, responsiveness and close attention to detail. She served as a steady leader during the pandemic, brought transparency to operations in the department and has overseen a rapid transformation of the faculty body due to retirement and has worked with colleagues on a significant number of hires that position the unit for future success.”
