LAFAYETTE TODAY
New Senior Administrators
Three new members of the College’s senior administrative team, Wendy L. Hill, provost and dean
of the faculty, Mitchell Wein,
vice president for business affairs and treasurer, and Hannah W. Stewart-Gambino, dean of the College, began appointments July 1.
Hill, a Lafayette faculty member since 1989, holds the William C. ’67 and Pamela H. Rappolt chair in neuroscience. She succeeds Anthony M. Cummings, who stepped down after one year as provost and dean of the faculty to pursue full-time teaching and research as a professor in the Department of Music. Her appointment is for an initial term
of two years, President Daniel
Weiss said.
“Wendy has a record of extraordinary accomplishment as a teacher, scholar, and academic leader. Equally important, her very effective service to the College as
a member of several important elected and advisory committees is entirely consistent with the requirements of the provostship,” Weiss said. “Her experience positions Wendy uniquely well to lead our academic division as the College prepares to launch a strategic plan that places the academic program
at its core and calls for significant new academic resources and curricular initiatives.”
Wein brings 20 years’ experience in investment banking work with colleges and universities, including Lafayette. He was managing director of the Municipal Securities Group in the Philadelphia office of UBS Investment Bank since 2002, following 15 years of service
with PNC Capital Markets.
“His distinguished record of success as a resource to higher education clients on a broad spectrum of finance and capital planning topics includes nearly a decade of exemplary service and guidance to the College,” Weiss
said. Wein succeeds Frederick J. Quivey, who retired after serving
as vice president for business affairs and treasurer since 1991.
Stewart-Gambino is a former professor of political science and associate dean of the College of Arts and Sciences at Lehigh University. The position of dean of the College was created through a revamping of the position of dean of studies, most recently held on an interim basis by Rose Marie L. Bukics, Jones Professor of Economics and Business, who returns to full-time teaching and scholarship.
