The headline sounds like the title of a bad rap song, but in this case it refers to the return of Dean Emeritus Roger Compton to the Webb Faculty. Dr. Compton has returned to Webb for the 2015/2016 academic year and is teaching the freshman Naval Architecture I course and the junior Ship Design I course.
Dr. Compton previously served as Webb’s Dean and Professor of Naval Architecture from 1999 to 2011. Dr. Compton agreed to return to Webb to help during the faculty re-staffing upon the retirements of Dean Neilson and Professor Wiggins and the transition of Professor Werner to the dean’s position. During his time back at Webb, Dr. Compton will be staying in the White House with his wife, Jill. If you are on campus make sure you say hello to Dr. Compton. Perhaps we should consider another name change, how about Webb Institute and Home for Retired Naval Architects. Welcome back Dean Emeritus Compton!
