Rutgers University’s Mason Gross School of the Arts announced today that Kara Walker has been appointed as the school’s Tepper Chair. Under her new title, Walker will create a positive research environment for the school’s students. She will start this fall and remain the school’s Tepper Chair for the next five years.
Rutgers’s Tepper Chair position (which, confusingly, is different from its regular Chair) was founded in 2011 after Marlene A. Tepper pledged $3 million to the school.
