Dean Jean Tribute

Dean Jean

Since 1965 when she joined the faculty first at Newcomb College and later at Tulane, Professor Jean Danielson has touched literally thousands of Newcomb and Tulane students. "Dean Jean" also directed the Honors Program for 14 years, spending countless hours counseling students and working on their behalf. If you took her class or had her for your advisor, you will remember her forever. She made us think. She inspired us, guided us, encouraged us, pushed and prodded us – she made us dig down deep and brought out the best in us.

In May 2004, after thirty-nine years, Professor Jean Danielson finally retired.
