Dr. Magilow, featured!

Today, we want to spotlight Daniel Magilow, a professor of German in the Department of World Languages and Cultures. Magilow is an affiliated faculty member with several other programs in the college and has had his teaching and research supported by organizations such as the National Endowment for the Humanities, the Getty Foundation, and the Denbo Center for Humanities and the Arts.

According to his student nominator, Magilow was nominated for Feature Faculty Friday because of the excellent teaching and support he shows his students, especially in the feedback he gives on academic writing.
