The year I founded Yale EA, our group met with Dean (who taught there at the time) to get ideas for what we might work on. So he’s been aware of EA for a long time.
(He was also a grader for my undergraduate thesis, which was explicitly influenced by EA.)
He’s not really involved in the community that I know of. But in a more important sense, his entire life has been spent practicing EA, and I’m excited to see what he does in his new position!

He was the northwestern ea staff/​professor sponsor for the duration of my time there (this doesn’t mean that much though).
