The Graduate College is pleased to welcome Professor Isabel Molina-Guzmán as Associate Dean of the Graduate College effective June 16, 2016. Dean Molina-Guzman’s primary responsibilities will be in the area of doctoral program assessment. Her appointment in the Grad College will be .50 FTE. She will continue to serve as a faculty member in Latina/Latino Studies and Media and Cinema Studies. She has served on the Graduate College Executive Committee and has an in-depth understanding of graduate issues on our campus.

Molina-Guzmán’s work critically analyzes the representations of marginalized groups in both traditional and digital media forms.
