Dear Colleagues,
I write to announce the appointment of Dr. Neilan S. Chaturvedi as Interim Associate Dean for the College of Education and Integrative Studies (CEIS).
Dr. Chaturvedi has been a member of the Cal Poly Pomona faculty in the Department of Political Science since 2015 and recently served as interim associate dean for academic personnel and resources within the College of Letters, Arts, and Social Sciences. A scholar of American politics, his research and teaching interests include Congress, the presidency, elections and voting behavior, and race and ethnicity. His book, Life in the Middle: Marginalized Moderate Senators in the Era of Polarization — which focuses on the role of moderate senators in the lawmaking process — is published by Oxford University Press.
Dr. Chaturvedi is excited to bring his passion about diversity, equity, and inclusion to the dean’s office in CEIS. Please join me in congratulating him on this new role.
Sincerely,
Jennifer L. Brown, Ph.D.
Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs
