Diana J. Montaño and Christina Ramos, both educators within the Department of History in Arts & Sciences, have been appointed as Georgie W. Lewis Career Development Professors. These three-year endowed professorships acknowledge excellence in research and instruction, as well as a commendable track record of professional service.

This professorship is distinct from other endowed professorships at Washington University in St. Louis, which usually honor the lifelong achievements of senior faculty members. The Lewis Professors are aimed at emerging scholars, highlighting their successes at a crucial juncture in their careers.

The endowed roles were made feasible by a donation from Lewis, a graduate of WashU in 1947 with a degree in liberal arts. Her contribution was inspired by her deep family connections to the university and St. Louis, and she aspires for the succession of scholars who assume professorships in her honor to make meaningful impacts in their respective fields while nurturing the leaders of the future.
