Re: New Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs and Provost
Following an extensive national search, I’m very pleased to share that Dr. Allison Pease, our interim provost and a professor of English, was officially named senior vice president for academic affairs and provost. The search committee, chaired by Professor James Cauthen, included faculty, students and staff who reviewed applications from candidates with a wide range of experience, skills and backgrounds. Please join me in thanking them for their hard work and dedication.
Dr. Pease is passionate about John Jay as a place of opportunity and transformation for students, faculty and staff. She served as interim provost for the past two years and previously served as associate provost for institutional effectiveness, associate to the provost for faculty, interim dean of undergraduate studies, chair of the Department of English and director of gender studies. Dr. Pease also led the creation of our MBK Connect program for men of color, co-chaired our 2023 Middle States re-accreditation process, co-lead the development of our Seven Principles for a Culturally Responsive, Inclusive and Anti-Racist Curriculum, led our 2020-2025 strategic planning process, co-authored our 2019 Vision for Undergraduate Student Success, established the Teaching and Learning Center, helped create CUNY’s first ACE program at John Jay, established sophomore advising in the majors and led the creation of the English B.A. and the gender studies B.A.
Dr. Pease earned her Ph.D. from New York University and joined John Jay in 1998. She is a scholar of modernist literature and culture and the author of Modernism, Mass Culture and the Aesthetics of Obscenity, Modernism, Feminism and the Culture of Boredom, the coauthor of Modernism, Sex and Gender and the editor of the Cambridge Companion to To the Lighthouse.
Please join me in welcoming Dr. Pease to her new role!
Warmly,
Karol V. Mason
