Malcolm Overstreet Partin Pre-Tenure Professorship

At Spring Convocation on April 28, 2011, Dean Clark Ross named Professor Rebecca Joubin the Malcolm Overstreet Partin Assistant Professor of Arabic. He noted that she "is a gifted teacher with infectious enthusiasm. Only in her second year with us, she has made major strides in developing a coordinated program in another part of the world. With language, literature, and culture, as well as summer study and hopefully, next year, a semester program in Syria, our progress with Arabic language and Middle East studies has taken a quantum leap with her presence and commitment."
