Indiana University of Pennsylvania has named Dr. Todd Thompson as the new director of the Robert E. Cook Honors College.
Thompson is a professor of English in the Department of Language, Literature, and Writing, and will begin the role on May 18th. University officials said he was selected following a campus-wide search, citing his experience in honors education and leadership roles at IUP and other institutions.
Outgoing director Dr. Chauna Craig was recognized for her leadership since 2019, including efforts to strengthen recruitment and revise curriculum. She will remain on the IUP faculty.
Thompson has been with IUP since 2009 and has taught across honors, English, and graduate programs. He said he is honored to lead the Cook Honors College and looks forward to building connections across campus.
