Barbara Gitenstein is the author of some 30 academic articles on
Jewish-American Literature and academic administration as well as
the monograph Apocalyptic Messianism and Jewish-American
Poetry. She has made over 100 presentations at literature and
academic administrative conferences. She was often interviewed on
radio and television stations in New Jersey, focusing on higher
education issues. She did not grow up aspiring to be a president
of a college, rather she wanted to be a prima donna at the
Metropolitan Opera Company. Her second-choice career turned out
rather well, as after receiving a B.A. with honors from Duke
University and a Ph.D. in English and American Literature from
University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, followed by 15 years
as a full time English professor, she served as Provost and
Executive Vice President at Drake University in Des Moines, Iowa
and as president of The College of New Jersey in Ewing, New
Jersey.
