Jane DeRose Evans, Professor of Roman Art and Archaeology has been reappointed as Chair of the Art History Department for a second three-year term through the academic year 2022–23. Under Professor Evans’s leadership, the department has expanded the breadth of its curriculum, transformed the MA Track in Arts Management to reflect current trends, and spearheaded capital improvements to the art history facilities. 

In her nearly thirty years at Temple University, Professor Evans has excelled as a teacher, scholar and field archaeologist, steadily advancing in the fields of archaeology and numismatics with her work. Her skills as a leader have been crucial over the past few months as Tyler has faced the many challenges in higher education caused by the COVID-19 crisis.
