New Associate Dean at SCPS: Jeanne Widen, PhD

J Widen

We are very proud to announce that Jeanne Widen is the new Associate Dean at SCPS. After an exhaustive search, the best candidate was hidden in plain sight! Jeanne was first hired with SCPS as Director of Online Learning in Fall, 2012. In that role, she established a strong online curriculum and  this is proven in the numbers: 50 percent of all SCPS courses offered in the spring semester 2014 are online courses.

Jeanne has administrative experience in higher education, in both the United States and abroad, and in traditional and online programs. She earned her PhD and MA in English Language and Literature from the University of Chicago and started teaching literature and writing courses on-ground in 1987 and online in 2004. Before coming to Loyola, she served as Faculty Coach, English Department Chair, and Faculty Senate President at an online university for working adults. All of us at SCPS feel that Jeanne has what it takes to help SCPS continue to excel. Please congratulate Jeanne on her new position!
