Wendy Sternberg named new Associate Provost

Together with members of Academic Council and Steve Emerson, I am very pleased to announce that Wendy Sternberg, Professor of Psychology, has agreed to accept the position of Associate Provost, for a three-year term, beginning July 1, 2008.

Wendy has been a member of our faculty since 1995, and has served as Chair of the department of Psychology on two occasions, for the 2002-2003 academic year and since 2004. An accomplished international scholar in the field of pain research, Wendy is a valued leader in the Haverford community. Wendy has served the College as an elected member of Academic Council and the Presidential Search Committee, and is currently the Middle States re-accreditation co-chair. A 2003 recipient of the Christian R. and Mary F. Lindback Teaching Award, Wendy is a star teacher broadly recognized for her dedication to our students. A model scholar-teacher, and a highly respected and trusted colleague, Wendy brings intelligence, drive, institutional expertise and personal warmth to her new job as Associate Provost. I am honored that Wendy has accepted my invitation to serve Haverford in this important way.
