Gillis Appointed New Dean of College
April 15, 2009
Georgetown University today announced Chester Gillis as the new dean of Georgetown College, effective immediately.
Since July, Gillis has served as interim dean of the College, which is the oldest and largest school within the university -- housing departments and programs in the arts and sciences.
“Dean Gillis has a strong record of experience in undergraduate education and a deep commitment to supporting faculty scholarship and innovative classroom opportunities,” said Georgetown President John J. DeGioia. “He has demonstrated an innovative vision for the future of the College that honors our foundation of intellectual rigor, global reach and dedication to service.”
Gillis assumed the role of interim dean upon the departure of Jane Dammen McAuliffe last summer. He is the founding director of the Program on the Church and Interreligious Dialogue within the Berkley Center for Religion, Peace and World Affairs at Georgetown and holds the Amaturo Chair in Catholic Studies in the department of theology.
