in honor of RETIRING FACULTY April 21, 2021

A thank you to our writers

These remarkable biographies are a testament to the wonderfully warm, collegial relationships at IU Bloomington.

Profiles within this publication were written by colleagues of the retiring faculty members. Each conveys beautifully the dedication, contributions, and spirit of the individual. Each displays an intimate knowledge of the faculty member’s body of work. And each reveals the depth of admiration these incredible scholars and teachers have inspired.

I offer my most sincere thanks to our writers for taking the time to craft these thoughtful and detailed biographies. You have done a great service to the IU Bloomington community in honoring the service of your friends.
