Each May, we celebrate Commencement as students begin their lives after college. It also marks the time a small group of professors begin their retirements after years of service to the College. For alumni, seeing the professors’ names might inspire nostalgia—and perhaps a note of appreciation. These are the faculty retirements from the 2021-22 academic year, along with the year they arrived at the College.
