Jesse Alemán named endowed faculty chair for Bread Loaf School of English
Dr. Jesse Alemán was recently awarded the Ruth and Lillian Marino endowed faculty chair for Middlebury College’s Bread Loaf Summer Graduate School of English. Named chairs represent endowments given to the Bread Loaf School of English by those who held it dear; the endowments are a major honor awarded to different faculty members across the four Bread Loaf campuses (Ripton, Vermont; Ashville, North Carolina; Oxford, UK; and Santa Fe, New Mexico) each year in recognition of excellence in teaching. The Ruth and Lillian Marino chair was established by Ruth and Lillian Marino, sisters and Bread Loaf graduates, who left the largest gift in Bread Loaf’s history. The fund has supported the salaries of many great Bread Loaf professors over the years, and this year, Bread Loaf awarded the Ruth and Lillian Marino Chair to Dr. Jesse Alemán. One student wrote, “Dr. Jesse Alemán is fantastic… the best professor I’ve had in three years of Bread Loaf. He’s dynamic, brilliant, caring, fun, fair and just wonderful!” In honor of the award, Dr. Alemán received a miniature Adirondack chair from Vermont, plus recognition of his teaching excellence at the annual Bread Loaf awards ceremony.
The Bread Loaf School of English is a summer residential graduate program of Middlebury College, providing education in British, American, and world literatures. The program offers Master of Arts and Master of Letters degrees in English and draws faculty from leading institutions to cultivate a diverse and dynamic learning community that fosters innovative, culturally responsive thinking, teaching, and professional development. Dr. Alemán has been a Bread Loaf summer graduate faculty member for six years, teaching courses on nineteenth-century American renaissance, the American gothic, and southwestern literature and film.
