College welcomes new dean Kumble R. Subbaswamy (who goes by the name Swamy) has been named the new dean for the College of Arts and Sciences at Indiana University.

He will take over from Acting Dean Russell Hanson, professor of political science, who has held the office since Morton Lowengrub left at the end of the 1998-99 school year. Swamy, who earned his doctorate in physics from IU in 1976, will also become a full professor in the physics department. He has previously taught at the University of California, Irvine, and the University of Kentucky, where he serced as chair of the Department of Physics and Astronomy as well as associate dean of the College of Arts and Sciences. New editor joins The College Pictured: Leora Baude After three years under the creative and committed leadership of Anne Kibbler, The College magazine is undergoing a change. The new editor, Leora Baude, is a lifelong resident of Bloomington and former IU student, whose very first College class, Classical Greek (taught by the almost frighteningly energetic Mark Damen), inspired an abiding interest in the oddities, as well as the beauties, of language (see her article here). Before coming to The College, Leora was editor of The Majority Report, the newsletter for the Office for Women’s Affairs at IU.
