On Thursday, May 31, administrators, faculty and staff gathered to dedicate a new bench between Sponsel Hall and Shambaugh Hall in honor of Jean Deller, Ph.D., associate vice president for academics.
Deller retired the next day, June 1. She had been honored with the rank of professor emeritus at the commencement breakfast on May 5.
Deller has worked at Trine since 1980, when she began teaching in Tri-State University’s Department of Education. During that time, she has held countless positions in the university’s education, athletic and administrative departments while continuing to instruct courses in the education department.
Trine University has received a grant from the Indiana Space Grant Consortium (INSGC) to support students conducting advanced aerospace composite research.
While some consider the number 13 unlucky, for Trine University graduates, it’s evidence of continued excellence.
Ellen Paxton has joined Trine University as assistant vice president of advancement, bringing more than 25 years of experience in fundraising and institutional promotion to the position.
