In a reception for faculty earlier this February, Jeff Hammond, George B. and Willma R. Reeves Distinguished Professor in the Liberal Arts, celebrated 25 years of service to the College. Winner of two Pushcart Prizes and the author of numerous books, articles, and essays, Hammond joined the College in 1990. His current project, So You Say: Discourse and Presence in the Gospel of Mark, considers the Gospel as a performative text.
