Lea Jacobs is a familiar face to film lovers on the UW campus. A communication arts professor, she?s also afounding director of the UW Cinematheque, the campus organization that screens noteworthy films for free nearly every week, including silent films and 16mm and 35mm prints. Now she?s adding another title to her resume: associate dean for the arts and humanities in the UW Graduate School, the role new School of Music director Susan C. Cook recently vacated.
