Congratulations to Professor Elina Gertsman, newly appointed Andrew W. Mellon Professor in the Humanities!

This title honors her extraordinary scholarship and the high esteem in which she is held nationally and internationally. All three of her monographs have received awards; and yet these are a mere fraction of her total publication record. Her work has been acknowledged by a Guggenheim Fellowship, only one of many other honors.

She is a dedicated and inspiring teacher with a loyal following of students, past and present. We are fortunate to have her at CWRU, and grateful for all she does. Well deserved!
