Chawne Kimber, Dean of the College
Note from the Dean
I hope we have all found time to catch our collective breath as we race toward the July 4th holiday.  After a challenging academic year, we find ourselves in the exciting position of welcoming Dean Chawne Kimber to W&L.  Dean Kimber brings great expertise and a wealth of experience to her leadership of the College, and I could not be more proud of the faculty and staff waiting to greet her.  
It has been an honor to serve as your Dean.  I look forward to continuing our work together as I move from Simpson House to Washington Hall.  A different location and different portfolio do not change the mission.  Good things lie ahead. 
 
FACULTY SPOTLIGHT
Lynny Chin, Associate Professor of Sociology
The energy Lynny brings to her teaching, scholarship, and many contributions to the W&L community is incredible.  This Spring, her innovative course, "Belonging in College," successfully partnered with the Center for International Education to survey how international students compare to non-international students regarding feelings of belonging on campus.  Lynny is also working on two research projects: a study examining the consequences of "fit" for non-white students and a paper exploring "status-coordination schema."  There is never a dull moment for the students, faculty, and staff who partner with Lynny in her work!
