GRADUATE PROGRAM STAFF NEWS

Eileen Faherty and Cheryl RobinsonEileen Faherty and Cheryl Robinson received this year’s Graduate School–New Brunswick Staff Excellence Award. The faculty and students in the Graduate Program of Literatures in English salute and thank them for their extraordinary commitment to the program—and congratulate them on winning this well-deserved award!

Eileen retired from Rutgers this past spring after twenty-five years of dedicated service to the university. This award thus came at an auspicious time, marking the culmination of decades of professional and personable service. Equally generous dispensing treats as she was with giving advice, Eileen provided consistent and patient assistance to faculty and students alike. Having joined the English department in December 2002, she worked with Myra Jehlen, Meredith L. McGill, and Marianne DeKoven during their tenure as directors of the graduate program. Everyone in Murray Hall will miss Eileen, and we bid her fond adieu and send our best wishes for her retirement.
