Accepting the interim director position, Dr. Ingram said, “I am grateful to the chairman of the Board of Trustees, the President and the Provost for their support as I step into this role as the Hamilton School’s interim director. Hamilton is home to unbelievably talented and productive faculty and to the best staff at UF. I’m excited to work with them in the coming year as we advance our mission of promoting civic education and the study of the great debates and core texts of Western and American civilization.”
We are grateful for Dr. Ingram’s continued leadership and look forward to the year ahead under his guidance.
