Dr. Bryant Keith Alexander is Dean, College of Communication and Fine
Arts at LMU and Professor of Communication and Performance Studies.
He is an active scholar, lecturer and performer with nearly 100 publications in
leading journals and book chapters with forthcoming essays on the politics of
hair, queer theory, bodies and social difference, and globalizing intercultural
communication. His research circulates around commitments to diversity and
plurality in the identity categories of race; culture; gender and sexuality;
performances of masculinity; culture and pedagogy as evidenced in his three
published books: Performance Theories in Education: Power, Pedagogy, and
the Politics of Identity, Performing Black Masculinity: Race, Culture, and Queer
Identity, and The Performative Sustainability of Race: Reflections on Black
Culture and the Politics of Identity.
Alexander serves on the Advisory Board of LA’s Best, Afterschool Program and
has been a consistent facilitator at the California Diversity Forum committed
to encouraging the increase of underrepresented populations in graduate
programs in California. Alexander’s administrative, teaching, and scholarly life
celebrates integrative and interdisciplinary approaches to knowledge. He sees
administration, teaching and scholarship as informing practices of academic
professionalism and student success.
Bishop Gordon D. Bennett, S.J. D.D., was born on October 21, 1946 in
Denver. He was educated at Mount St. Michael’s in Spokane, Washington,
Loyola High School in Los Angeles, Loyola University in Los Angeles (later Loyola
Marymount University), the Jesuit School of Theology in Berkeley, California,
Loyola Marymount University (for graduate studies after his undergraduate
work at Loyola), and Fordham University in New York City for the Professional
Diploma in Administration and Supervision.
Most Rev. Gordon Bennett was ordained a priest in 1975. On March 3, 1998,
he was ordained Auxiliary Bishop of Baltimore. Bennett assumed his duties as
Bishop of Mandeville, Jamaica on September 24, 2004. Later he also served
with distinction as the President of Loyola High School, Los Angeles, California.
Bishop Bennett has rich experience in education, administration and spiritual
formation. He has been a High School Campus Minister, as well as Rector and
Master of Novices at the Jesuit Novitiate in Southern California, and Principal
and more recently President of Loyola High School, one of the largest Jesuit
High Schools in the United States.

Bishop Bennett has established an outstanding reputation as a Preacher of
Spiritual Retreats to clergy, religious and laity. He has received the Irma Brown
Dillon Community Service Award, which honors leaders who exemplify LMU’s
mission and tradition of serving others. Bishop Bennett retired as Bishop of
Mandeville in 2008 and is currently the Peter Faber Fellow in Pastoral Theology
and Ignatian Spirituality at LMU.
Ms. Pam Rector, the Founder and Director of the Center for Service and Action
at Loyola Marymount University, is a lifelong advocate for social justice with
special interest in immigration reform, educational equity for all, and working
toward a justice system focused more on rehabilitation than retribution. Her
work in the Lennox School District for 17 years and her work with a wide
variety of organizations and schools during the last 15 years at LMU keep
her energized for collaboration with community partners and LMU colleagues.
As the Co-Founder of the El Espejo program, she is committed to developing
college readiness programs. She is currently a board member and has served
on several boards including St. Margaret’s Center, Lennox Math Science and
Technology Academy, Greet Dot Public Schools, the Religious of the Sacred
Heart of Mary, the Ignatian Volunteer Corp, the Center for Ignatian Spirituality
and she served as member and President of the National Alumni Association
for LMU. Pam holds a B.A. in Psychology, M.A. in Counseling and a M.Ed. in
Educational Administration, all from Loyola Marymount University. Past honors
include LMU Educator of the Year, LMU Alumni of the Year for Community
Service and the Ignatian Volunteer Corps Madonna Della Strada Award. Pam’s
daughter Grace and extended family make for a life filled with joy.
Ms. Kathy Reed is the University Registrar who reports to the Vice President
of Enrollment Management and is responsible for protecting the integrity of
the university’s academic regulations. The University Registrar oversees the
management and maintenance of student records and directs and coordinates
university registration activities, produces the university bulletin and schedule
of classes, publishes the academic calendar, and directs commencement
activities. Kathy Reed came to Loyola Marymount University as Graduation
Coordinator in 1982. Since that time she has served the university as Assistant
University Registrar, Associate and Senior Associate University Registrar, and
most recently as University Registrar.
Reed is an alumna of Loyola Marymount University, having received a Bachelor
of Arts degree in English and a Master of Education degree in Reading.
While receiving her master’s degree, Reed earned an Elementary Education
Teaching Credential and the Reading Specialist Credential. Prior to her return
to Loyola Marymount University, Reed spent several years as an educator at
elementary, middle, and adult schools in the Southern California area. Reed

is an active member of the American Association of Collegiate Registrars and
Admission Officers (AACRAO), the Pacific Association of Collegiate Registrars
and Admissions Officers (PACRAO), serves as the West Coast representative
on the Banner Student Advisory Board for SunGardHE Community Source
Initiative, and is chairperson for the Enrollment Management Technology Team.
Dr. Brian Treanor is currently Professor of Philosophy, Taylor Chair of
Philosophy, and Director of Environmental Studies at Loyola Marymount
University. He received his Ph.D. at Boston College studying under Richard
Kearney and Jacques Taminiaux. Prof. Treanor’s research covers a wide variety
of issues from a broadly hermeneutic perspective, focusing on the way in which
philosophy can tap into the “surplus of meaning” in texts and, by extension,
other phenomena that solicit or require interpretation. His work has touched
on virtue, hope, faith, God, risk, place, the natural world, personal identity,
embodiment, and other subjects.
Published widely in journals and edited volumes, his book-length scholarship
includes authoring Emplotting Virtue (SUNY 2014) and Aspects of Alterity
(Fordham 2006) as well as editing Interpreting Nature (Fordham 2013) and A
Passion for the Possible (Fordham 2010). He is currently finishing work on two
additional edited collections—Being in Creation (Fordham 2015) and Carnal
Hermeneutics (Fordham 2015)—and is working on a monograph on the topic
of joy as it is related to carnal embodiment and the material world.
Treanor is a native of California, though he has traveled widely on six continents
and lived abroad in Europe and Asia. He lives near LMU with his wife, Gitty, and
daughters Darya and Ciara, with whom he shares his love of poetry, theater,
climbing, skiing, camping, and myriad other pursuits.
