With the 2020-2021 academic year, the Yale School of Art welcomed a new faculty member, Desmond Lewis, appointed as Lecturer in Sculpture—a role in which he's teaching two courses this spring while also serving as Fabrication Shops Coordinator at 36 Edgewood Avenue. Desmond joins Fabrication Shops Director and Lecturer Elizabeth Tubergen, who returned this fall from Berlin where she was an Alexander Von Humboldt Foundation Fellow and artist in residence at Künstlerhaus Bethanien. Michael Fadel, who received his MFA in Sculpture from the University of Arizona in 2013, also returned as Fabrication Shops Technician this fall, after first joining the shops team during the 2019-2020 academic year.
With the spring, the School of Art says farewell to Michael Nock who this month departs his role as Associate Director of Development to join Pelli Clarke Pelli Architects as Director of Communications and Business Development. At the same time, we're excited to welcome Krista Dobson, who has officially begun her new role as a full-time non-clinical counselor for the Schools of Art, Architecture, and Drama. Krista is now supporting students with short term mental health and wellness needs including, but not limited to, development of strategies related to time and stress management, conflict resolution, social and cultural belonging, and self-care.
