After serving as interim dean of the College of Arts and Sciences (CAS) since 2022, Gennie VanBeek has been named permanent dean as of Aug. 28.
“I look forward to building on the great work we accomplished last year in fostering trust and community as we further the liberal arts mission of Linfield,” she said.
VanBeek joined Linfield in 2008 as an associate professor of education. Her research focuses on students at the margins of public education and helping students improve their writing. She served as associate dean of CAS before her role as interim dean.
Prior to Linfield, VanBeek taught adult basic education as well as secondary language arts. She holds a doctorate from Oregon State University.
