Faculty Retirement Tributes (2020)

Tuesday, May 19, 2020

Thirteen faculty retired from the FAS in 2019-2020. As is tradition in the FAS, at the final Yale College Faculty Meeting of the academic year, Dean Tamar Gendler read tributes to retiring faculty, reognizing their long-time service to the university. While this is typically an occasion to gather in person and celebrate our accomplished FAS colleagues, this year’s meeting took place remotely. Once we are able to gather again, we look forward to gathering and saluting the 2019-2020 retirees in person. 

Special thanks to Penelope Laurans, tribute editor.
