Faculty Chair: Karen Chou
The Faculty Chair is a senior faculty member who “guides the intellectual and programmatic life” of a residential college. In Slivka, they often take students to cultural and other unique events.
Karen Chou (aka KChou) is Slivka’s Faculty Chair. She is a Clinical Professor Emerita and former assistant department chair of Civil Engineering. Since retirement, she was able to catch up on some cooking, including cooking fireside events with the Slivkans, cross stitching, reading mystery books, and walking as much as she can. She can always talk about building, structures, infrastructures, EA 2 and 216 (you will find out what they are soon enough). You can learn more about KChou here!
