CAL Gets a New Leader
College of Arts and Letters (CAL) Gets a New Leader
The entire #PSIAfamily extends a heartfelt “Welcome” to Dr. Elisabeth Burgess, who began her tenure as Dean on February 10th. Dr. Burgess comes to CAL from Georgia State University where she most recently served as Associate Dean for Faculty Affairs of the College of Arts and Sciences and a Professor of Gerontology and Sociology. Dr. Burgess received both her Master's degree and her Ph.D.in Sociology from the University of Southern California. We look forward to working with her in the coming years.
At the same time, we welcome Dr. Burgess, we must say “Goodbye” to Dr. Chris Jespersen, who has led CAL for the past 19 years.
Although stepping down as Dean, Dr. Jespersen will continue serving the students of 星空无限传媒 with our Chinese Flagship program, our Summer Language Institute, and similar initiatives and grant opportunities. We thank Dr. Jespersen for his leadership over the past two decades and wish him all the best.
