A hearty “WELCOME” to the two most recent additions to our faculty ranks — Drs. Scott McDonald and Jing He. 

Scott comes to us direct from The Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy of Tufts University. He is embarking on his second career after spending 24 years as an officer in the US Marine Corps. His extensive background in the Marines, as an armor officer, a China Foreign Area Officer, and a diplomat helps provide much-needed expertise in our growing National Security Affairs program. 

Also coming direct from her doctoral work, Jing studied at Fudan University, Shanghai prior to finishing her current round of academic study at Florida State University’s Askew School of Public Administration and Policy. With her background in international public policy, along with public administration and management, Dr. He brings a welcome addition to our Public Administration program. 

While saying “hello” to Scott and Jing, we unfortunately are forced to say “goodbye” to a seven-year member of our faculty, Dr. Scott Meachum. Those of you who got to know Dr. Meachum over the past few years, particularly those of you in our political science/pre-law track, know what a wealth of experience he brought to the classroom. Though we will miss Scott, we wish him all the best in his coming adventures with the US Government.
