Mel Piehl, director of the Lilly Fellows Program in Humanities and the Arts at Valparaiso (Indiana) University, has announced the appointment of three teacher-scholars as the 12th cohort of Lilly Fellows for the academic years 2003-05. Among them is 1994 St. Olaf graduate Kari Kloos, who earned her bachelor of arts in religion and music and is completing her Ph.D. in theology from the University of Notre Dame. Her dissertation, "Preparing for the Vision of God: Augustine's Interpretation of the Biblical Theophany Narratives," examines the ancient church father St. Augustine's reading of central Old Testament texts in his work on the Trinity. She has taught introductory theology courses at Notre Dame and earlier worked as an associate editor of liturgical resources at Augsburg Fortress Press in Minneapolis. This fall, Kloos will teach the Christian Tradition theology course in Christ College.
