as Director in September, 2000. She came to Academic and Student
Services (ACSS) from Lawrence University in Appleton, Wisconsin,
where she served as an Associate Professor, on their faculty
since 1990. At Lawrence University she taught art and interdisciplinary
courses, served as Chair of the Art Department, and participated
in the college's interdisciplinary Gender Studies Program. An
artist herself, Klebesadel is best known for watercolor paintings
examining feminist themes. Klebesadel is a past national president
of the Women's Caucus for Art, the Nation's oldest and largest
multi-disciplinary feminist arts organization. In that capacity,
she led a delegation in 1995 to the NGO Forum of the United

the Studio Art Critique and Practice," to the 2006, New

with Lisa Kornetsky, an essay, “Critique as Signature
Pedagogy in the Arts “ in the forthcoming book Exploring
Signature Pedagogies: Approaches to Teaching Disciplinary Habits
of Mind. Helen’s artwork can be seen many places online
