Celebrating faculty: Associate professorship with tenure

Lafayette College is pleased to celebrate nine faculty members who have been promoted to associate professor with continuous tenure effective this academic year.

• Michael Bertucci, chemistry 
• Daniel Griffith, chemistry
• Amy Guisinger, economics
• Hafsa Kanjwal, history
• Allison Lewis, mathematics
• Hongxing Liu, economics
• David Mante, civil and environmental engineering
• Carlos Tavares, anthropology and sociology
• Joy Zhou, mathematics

Faculty and staff from across the College participate in this review and promotion process, which also incorporates insights from external scholars.

“One of the greatest testaments to the future of Lafayette College is the accomplished group of faculty who are tenured and promoted to associate professor each year,” says Provost Laura McGrane. “These scholar-teachers have excelled in their teaching, in their research and scholarship, and in their deep engagements with the Lafayette community. This particular group is especially wide-ranging in their areas of study, from the building blocks of peptides and organic molecules to disaggregated data sets, public health inequalities, nation states, built environments, and more. They offer fabulous opportunities for Lafayette students to dive into the global issues of our day in coursework, individual research projects, laboratories, and fieldwork.”
