Lund Gill Chair

Stephan Kinzer, journalist and historian, is Dominican's Lund Gill Chair this year.

Don't worry, no one else knows what that means either. This year, Kinzer is teaching a course titled "American Empire" as well as giving lectures throughout the semester. But how did he get picked for this position? And more importantly, who picked him?

According to the Dominican Website, "The chair is named for former Dominican University President Sr. Candida Lund, OP, and former English professor, Sr. Cyrille Gill, OP." But there is really no mention of who is eligible for this position or how the final individual is chosen.
