Stout announces
lHA
retirement at A&N
By Melissa Sullivan
THE BATTALION
Dr. Janis Stout, dean of faculties and associate
provost will retire at the end of January, capping
14 years at Texas A&M.
“Well, I am 62 years old and Pm a person who
wants adventure, which everyone should, because
you never know how long you will have here,”
Stout said. “We plan on moving to New Mexico,
build a house on two and a half acres of land at
6,800 feet and live high and dry.”
Stout received her doctorate from Rice
University in 1973 and joined the Texas A&M fac
ulty in 1987 as associate dean of the College of
Liberal Arts and associate professor of English,
becoming a professor in 1989.
“As a professor, I have had several good stu
dents, and I still have graduate students and will
continue to work with them ” Stout said.
Throughout her career. Stout has written seven
scholarly books, including Katherine Anne Porter:
A Sense of Times, which was the recipient of the
1996 C. Hugh Holman Award of the Society or the
Study of Southern Literature. She has also written
three novels.
As dean of faculty, Stout said she tried to safe
guard fairness in promotion and tenure and made
sure that the faculty was consulted in all
University decisions.
“1 hope to leave a legacy of building a conn ivironment a
nity and helping create a welcoming envin^'^y
ment,” Stout said
She has taught graduate courses in southweiia lents that the
American literature, Willa Gather and Kathera ver others will

courses on the twentieth century American iw a ng their flags
and modem American poetry, which includes a<
ior seminar on Gather.
“Dr. Stout has carried on the tradition ofew
lent people who have held the position,” said.^i
Pittman, director of Faculty Programs
Services. “Her main issues were diversity,conci
for women’s studies and making sure thefaci
was treated equally. She worked for the faculi)
a whole.” tcpvr

further tests are being done.
Authorities said the latest vic

people who have been tested by
health officials for the presence
of anthrax. Most have recently
been inside the AMI building
and are still waiting for test
results. Many were given sup

come back for more tests later.
