Department of Egyptology and Assyriology

Newest Tenured Professor

We are delighted to share with you that Laurel Bestock has been promoted to Associate Professor, with tenure, effective July 1, 2016.

Well deserved for her scholarship, enthusiasm and teaching excellence, as well as her service to the department and university.  We are lucky to have her with us and extend our sincere congratulations for this milestone.  Additionally, it should be noted that Laurel must have had the Fountain of Youth elixir in her goblet, she looks exactly as she did in her senior year at Brown '98-'99!
