Subject: Dana Professorships
 
Dana Professorships were established to recognize distinguished full professors at St. Lawrence and are the highest honor we bestow upon our faculty. All faculty participate in selecting Dana Professors and the election process has concluded. I have the honor and pleasure to announce to you the names and credentials of our newest Dana Professors.

Dana Professor of Economics Steven G. Horwitz:  A graduate of the University of Michigan, with a master's degree and Ph.D. from George Mason University, Steve has been on our faculty since 1989. A specialist in monetary theory and history, macroeconomics and political economy, he is the author of the 1992 book Monetary Evolution, Free Banking, and Economic Order and the 2000 book Microfoundations and Macroeconomics: An Austrian Perspective. Steve delivered the 1999 Frank P. Piskor Faculty Lecture at St. Lawrence, and has published extensively on economics and public policy in scholarly journals. Since 2001 he has served two terms as associate dean of the first year and for one year, 2003-2004, was interim director of the Center for Teaching and Learning.

Dana Professor of Psychology Alan Searleman:  Since joining the faculty in 1978, Alan has co-authored two books,  Memory improvement: Implications for memory theory, published in 1992, and Memory from a broader perspective, published in 1994; chaired the psychology department; served on Faculty Council and the Professional Standards Committee; and been a faculty representative to the Board of Trustees.  He also is recognized for his work studying left-handedness. He is consulting editor for the Journal of General Psychology: Experimental, Physiological, and Comparative Psychology. Alan received his B.S. in psychology from the University of Massachusetts/Amherst and his Ph.D. in experimental psychology from SUNY at Stony Brook. He received the J. Calvin Keene Award in 1999 and is an active member of the St. Lawrence chapter of Phi Beta Kappa.

Dana Professor of Global Studies Eve W. Stoddard: Eve received her B.A. from Mount Holyoke College and her Ph.D. from UCLA, both in English. She was first appointed to the department of English in 1986, and she has expanded her scholarship to the areas of cultural and postcolonial studies, comparative race and ethnicity, tourism and the history of slavery in the British Empire. Eve does considerable speaking, writing, and consulting on faculty and curriculum development related to internationalization, global and intercultural studies in higher education in the U.S. She has co-edited a volume of essays called Global Multiculturalism: Comparative Perspectives on Race, Ethnicity, and Nation and co-authored a monograph for the Association of American Colleges and Universities called Globalizing Knowledge: Connecting International and Intercultural Studies. Stoddard serves on the Board of the Global Studies Association of America.

Professors Horwitz, Searleman and Stoddard join the three current Dana Professors, David Hornung of biology, Laura O'Shaughnessy of government and Obiora Udechukwu of fine arts, for this prestigious honor that is held until retirement.

Please join me in offering warmest congratulations to our three colleagues.
