Cheers to Professor Kristin Trenholm on her retirement from !

Kristin has been a huge asset to our department and we were so happy to celebrate with her last week. (She received so many flowers (see above!) and well-wishes!) She’s made a deep impact on our students, nominated several times for teaching awards for her comparative politics and international relations courses. She won Advisor of the Year from for her mentorship of our award-winning chapter, , which won the National Best Chapter Award three times under her leadership.

It’s safe to say Kristin has made a mark in her nearly 20 years with us — it’s also safe to expect she’ll be back on campus taking those Classics courses she loves so much in no time! We’re glad it’s not a total goodbye, but we will miss you, Kristin!
