When Christine Wooley, Ph.D., first arrived on the campus of Eckerd College this spring, she felt an immediate rush of familiarity.<\/h3>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_content” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” top_padding=”32″ bottom_padding=”32″ text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” advanced_gradient_angle=”0″ overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” shape_type=”” gradient_type=”default”][vc_column column_padding=”padding-2-percent” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”right” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]The Tampa native was back in Florida\u2014after leaving for college 32 years ago\u2014and she was on the campus of a small liberal arts college with engaged students and caring faculty and staff. The visit made it incredibly easy to say yes when she was offered the opportunity to become the College\u2019s next vice president for academic affairs and dean of faculty<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I visited Eckerd, I felt such a strong connection to the campus,\u201d says Wooley, who will be leaving her position as the associate dean of curriculum at St. Mary\u2019s College of Maryland<\/a> to join Eckerd at the start of the fall semester.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m from the area, so that was part of it. But Eckerd felt familiar in other ways. I saw faculty and staff who are dedicated to the liberal arts model of undergraduate education<\/a>. And the students just blew me away! They were smart and engaged, and they asked such great questions. They showed me the kind of place Eckerd is, and made it so easy to imagine joining the Eckerd community.\u201d<\/p>\n

Wooley will become part of the Eckerd executive team after wowing the campus community last May during a national search that brought several stellar candidates through a rigorous interview process. Professor of Philosophy Nate Andersen, Ph.D.<\/a>, and Associate Professor of Biology Liza Conrad, Ph.D.<\/a>, co-chaired the committee leading the monthslong search.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_content” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” top_padding=”32″ text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” advanced_gradient_angle=”0″ overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” shape_type=”” gradient_type=”default”][vc_column column_padding=”padding-2-percent” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” el_class=”lg_text” advanced_gradient_angle=”0″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” gradient_type=”default”][vc_column_text]\u201cI am absolutely thrilled that Dr. Wooley will be joining the Eckerd College community,\u201d says President Jim Annarelli, Ph.D.<\/a> \u201cFrom the moment I met her, I was impressed by the degree to which she understands both the challenges and the extraordinary opportunities for liberal arts education in the 21st century.\u201d<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_content” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” top_padding=”32″ bottom_padding=”32″ text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” advanced_gradient_angle=”0″ overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” shape_type=”” gradient_type=”default”][vc_column column_padding=”padding-2-percent” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”right” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]Wooley joined St. Mary\u2019s College of Maryland as an assistant professor of English in 2005, and her husband, Colby Nelson, Ph.D., has been a part of St. Mary’s English Department since that same year. In addition to being promoted to full professorship, she served St. Mary\u2019s in administrative positions, including chair of the English Department. She was instrumental in curricular development and student support; teaching, learning and equity; and new-student recruitment and transitions as St. Mary\u2019s associate dean of curriculum.<\/p>\n

The mother of two\u2014Harper, 14, and Matilda, 10\u2014will bring more than 18 years of teaching and administrative experience to Eckerd College. Although her first higher education job was in student services as an undergraduate at Amherst College, she says she didn\u2019t truly catch the administrative bug until two years into her first postdoctoral position at St. Mary\u2019s College of Maryland.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the first couple of years at St. Mary\u2019s, I began to feel like there is work that the department can do better for the student,\u201d Wooley explains. \u201cFrom that point on, I found myself drawn into, or even sometimes looking for, ways to shape the community a little more intentionally and to work with those others\u2014students, faculty and staff\u2014who were really trying to make the institution work for as wide a range of people as possible.\u201d[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_content” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” top_padding=”32″ text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” advanced_gradient_angle=”0″ overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” shape_type=”” gradient_type=”default”][vc_column column_padding=”padding-2-percent” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” el_class=”lg_text” advanced_gradient_angle=”0″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” gradient_type=”default”][vc_column_text]That drive toward inclusivity is part of her scholarship as well. As a Master of Arts and Ph.D. student at the University of Washington, she was drawn to works by Black authors such as W.E.B. Du Bois, Charles Chesnutt and Paul Laurence Dunbar, who were using literature to explore\u2014and potentially intervene in\u2014the social and economic inequality experienced by Black Americans.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_content” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” top_padding=”32″ bottom_padding=”32″ text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” advanced_gradient_angle=”0″ overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” shape_type=”” gradient_type=”default”][vc_column column_padding=”padding-2-percent” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”right” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]\u201cWhen I went to grad school, I quickly found that the work I was drawn to was work that engaged with these discrepancies between what the United States claims and what actually happens to its citizens,\u201d Wooley describes. \u201cI was particularly drawn to works that sought to exploit the reader\u2019s experience and their sympathy. Black writers from the late-19th and early-20th centuries were still working with some of these ideas about sympathy, but they were also interested in showing us the limits of what sympathy could do. So these writers were trying to give insight into what happens when sympathy breaks down or its impacts don\u2019t create the kind of change that the writers were very much invested in.\u201d<\/p>\n

With that understanding, Wooley found ways to improve inclusion at St. Mary\u2019s through teaching and learning. She worked with colleagues to make sure curricula didn\u2019t focus only on what was taught but also on how it was taught, based on the learning styles and knowledge of the diverse student population. The creative solutions included a cluster hiring of faculty focused on inclusive pedagogy. This approach allows for a more supportive environment for new faculty committed to pursue such work, and develops ways to make sure their expertise is shared with others on campus.<\/p>\n

At Eckerd, Wooley says she plans to take her time to truly understand the institution before she moves toward her ultimate goal to improve the student experience at the College.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think for any administrator\u2014particularly at a liberal arts college\u2014you cannot lose sight of the fact that your work, although it shifts to being more intensely collaborative with faculty and staff, is in the service of the students and their learning. Our job is to support them as they figure out how they are going to get the most out of their college experience and explore what they want to do next,\u201d Wooley explains. \u201cI think to do this work well, you have to keep a tight focus on that as the purpose of your work.\u201d<\/p>\n

Wooley will assume the role of vice president for academic affairs and dean of faculty on Sept. 1, but she plans to take part in the Executive Staff retreat and the first-year welcoming program, Ceremony of Lights<\/a>, in August\u2014before her official start date.<\/p>\n

\u201cDr. Wooley\u2019s acceptance is a testament to the attractiveness of leading our outstanding academic program and the result of the tremendous work accomplished by the search committee,\u201d Annarelli adds. \u201cI know with Christine at the helm, our academic program will be led to new heights, and I am excited to begin our work together.\u201d[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
