Lee Mitchell, an English professor focusing on American literature, will take over as master of Butler College, succeeding humanities professor Ted Champlin, who has been master since 1995, the University announced yesterday.
Masters serve as figureheads for their residential colleges, but also direct social and intellectual activities within those communities.
Mitchell has been involved in residential college life as a freshman adviser and faculty fellow for many years and as a senior fellow in Rockefeller College in 2000-01.
Academically, he studies and teaches 19th and 20th century literature with a focus on the American West.
He was chair of the English department from 1993-99 and director of the American studies program from 1983-1990.
Mitchell will officially become master on July 1. His appointment was announced by Nancy Malkiel, dean of the college, and Kathleen Deignan, dean of undergraduate students.
