Paul Youngman is no stranger to Washington and Lee, an alumnus of the class of 1987 and a long-time faculty member. Yet, he is embarking on a new role after being elevated to interim dean of the college following Dean Chawne Kimber’s departure.
Youngman recently sat down with The Spectator, reflecting on his past roles at W&L and his goals for his future position as interim dean.
Youngman has served as associate provost for academic development and operations since his elevation in 2018, and has taught German during his whole time working at W&L. He returned to W&L in 2012 as an associate professor of German, and now serves as the Redenbaugh Professor of German. Additionally, he has served as a faculty representative to the Board of Trustees and on several on-campus committees. He is also the parent of a current W&L student.
