Bey Named
Associate Dean of the Science Division Dr. George J. Bey III, Associate Professor of the Sociology and Anthropology, has been named Associate Dean of the Science Division, effective January 1, 2001. He will replace Dr. Edward L. Schrader, who has been chosen as President of Shorter College in Rome, Georgia. “George Bey is an excellent successor to Ed Schrader, who did a fine job as dean,” says Richard Smith, Vice President and Dean of the College. “George is a consensus-builder who is well respected by faculty and students alike. He is recognized on a national level for his Mayan research, which in turn enhances the careers of students who study and work in the field with him. He has a rare combination of gifts: a truly entrepreneurial spirit and a solid scholarly reputation.” “I appreciate this honor, and I look forward to working with my colleagues across campus to create cross-disciplinary opportunities for students,” states Bey. Since joining the faculty in 1990, Bey has led the way in the development of a nationally respected anthropology program at the College. He has also been actively engaged in teaching courses in the Core Curriculum, Women Studies, and European Studies. While he has directed numerous student field research projects, he is best known for his work in the Yucatan – first at Ek Balam and now at Rancho Kiuic. He received the 1999-2000 Distinguished Professor Award. PREVIOUS PAGE | PAGE 1 OF 1 | NEXT DEPARTMENT |
