Excellence on Display: McGoogan Library Celebrates Faculty Promotions

We are thrilled to announce the promotion of three McGoogan Library faculty members to the rank of Associate Professor, effective July 1, 2024. 

• Carrie Meyer, MA, MA 
• Erin J. Torell, MA 
• Danielle Westmark, MLIS 

Carrie, Erin and Danielle documented their achievements in three areas and presented their stories of accomplishments. Their packets of application were evaluated by external peer reviewers, then reviewed and recommended by a library committee and the Vice Chancellor of Academic Affairs. The Chancellor completed the final review. 

The three areas of professional emphasis include: (1) teaching/librarianship, (2) research and other scholarly activities, and (3) service (including administration) to the University (including all subunits), peer professionals and the public. 

Broadly, McGoogan Health Sciences Library’s mission includes educating undergraduate and graduate students; supporting research programs designed to advance health sciences education and understanding of health and disease, as well as advance basic scientific knowledge and educational methods; and supporting the provision of comprehensive patient care. 

For promotion to Associate Professor, it is expected that significant achievement is made in at least two areas of academic endeavor and competence demonstrated in at least one other area of emphasis. This record of accomplishment must document an emerging reputation of regional or national scope in the candidate’s academic discipline. 

Congratulations, Carrie, Erin and Danielle on this career milestone!
