Samuel Levey, the current chair of the Department of Philosophy, has been appointed Associate Dean of the Faculty for Arts and Humanities. "Sam is a creative scholar and a model teacher and adviser to our undergraduates who has shown dedicated service toward creating a more equitable, inclusive environment on campus," says Smith. "I look forward to his input and leadership as part of the Wentworth team.""Sam is a creative scholar and a model teacher and adviser to our undergraduates who has shown dedicated service toward creating a more equitable, inclusive environment on campus," says Smith. "I look forward to his input and leadership as part of the Wentworth team." As associate dean, appointed for a four-year term, Levey will oversee the 13 departments in the arts and humanities division and work closely with the director of the Leslie Center for the Humanities, for which he served as interim director in 2006. "I'm glad to have the chance to give back and serve the faculty," Levey says. "I've benefited from good guidance from associate deans over the years. And as I've done more administrative work, I've become more and more aware of how key their role is in supporting faculty collectively and individually so they can be as effective as they can be."
As Associate Dean, Levey says he plans to continue teaching. "I love being a professor—I love teaching and writing. That's central to what I want to do at Dartmouth." Read the Dartmouth News article here.
