Since joining us in 2007, Dena has secured 5 grants from the Lilly Endowment, totaling over 32 million dollars. The impact of this work is substantial, both on and off our campus. 1,256 different faculty members have participated in a teaching and learning workshop since the establishment of the Wabash Center.

Ever friendly, unremittingly cheerful, willing to learn whatever is needed, and ready to push the Luddites around her to new understandings of work and play, She has been an excellent staff person, communications coordinator, and friend.
