Dear Campus Community,

When you return to Campus for the Spring Semester, make sure not to miss Dr. Penny Jarlid’s new art installation entitled “Rites of Spring” which is located outside of her home on Charcot Street. Dr. Jarlid, according to Dr. Jarlid, is an internationally acclaimed artist of found materials. 

Dr. Jarlid has had a storied career at Willard College. First hired as an adjunct Chemistry professor, she quickly gained a reputation as an artist of found objects. Later, during a period of institutional challenges, Dr. Jarlid served as the College’s first Adjunct Associate Provost, a position which she held for thirty two years until Provost Pillow as hired. Recently, Dr. Jarlid has worked with our Provost Lying to develop centering exercises.

In her spare time, Dr. Jarlid collects items to use in her art installations and travels with her husband, Provost Lying.

Hope everyone is having a restful break,

Provost Lying
