About the Sophomore Dean

Tina Wildhagen is the dean of the sophomore class. A faculty member in the Department of Sociology since 2008, Wildhagen studies inequality in the education system. She regularly teaches courses on the topic (for example, Power and Privilege in the American Education System) as well as quantitative research methods. Working closely with students—either in the classroom, on collaborative research, or in advising—is among the most rewarding parts of her job. Wildhagen’s hobbies include reading novels, running outdoors and making art, all of which she tries to incorporate into her favorite leisure activity: spending time with her three young children.

Sophomore Reboot is a chance to get a jump-start on your sophomore year, reconnect with your classmates and take stock of where you are now and where you want to go next. Because it is a pivotal time with many choices, these events are structured to help answer all the questions you may have.
