Since 2018, she has served as the school&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/news\/2022\/03\/21\/mike-dean-to-stop-refereeing-from-next-season\/\">Dean<\/a> of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences.<\/p>\n<p>According to Harvard Magazine, the announcement of her election was made at 1:35 PM today by the Harvard Corporation with the approval of the Board of Overseers.<\/p>\n<p>Lawrence S. Bacow, who announced in June of last year that he would retire at the conclusion of this academic year, will be succeeded by her.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe transition promises to be a seamless one: Gay, then dean of social science within the FAS, was a member of the faculty advisory committee during the search that resulted in Bacow\u2019s election in 2018, and he appointed her dean of FAS. She has therefore been a member of the president\u2019s academic council, and is well acquainted with all other members of the University\u2019s and the schools\u2019 senior leaders,\u201d the Magazine said.<\/p>\n<p>Gay is a scholar of government and African-American studies as well as a university administrator. She serves as Harvard\u2019s Wilbur A. Cowett Professor of Government and of African and African-American Studies, and Edgerley Family Dean of the Harvard Faculty of Arts and Sciences. She is vice president of the Midwest Political Science Association.<\/p>\n<p>Gay\u2019s research addresses American political behavior, including voter turnout and politics of race and identity.<\/p>\n<p>On December 15, 2022, Harvard announced that Gay had been selected as the 30th president of Harvard University, with her term beginning on July 1, 2023.<\/p>\n<p>Gay grew up as the child of Haitian immigrants to the United States; her parents met in New York as students (her mother studying nursing and her father engineering.) Gay is a cousin of writer Roxane Gay.<\/p>\n<p>Gay spent much of her childhood first in New York, then in Saudi Arabia where her father worked for U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Her mother was a registered nurse.<\/p>\n<p>Gay attended Phillips Exeter Academy, then studied economics at Stanford University, receiving the Anna Laura Myers Prize for best undergraduate thesis in economics. She graduated in 1992. Gay then earned her Ph.D. (1998) from Harvard, winning the university\u2019s Toppan Prize for best dissertation in political science.<\/p>\n<p>She served as assistant professor, then associate professor in Stanford\u2019s Department of Political Science from 2000 to 2006. In the 2003-2004 academic year, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/news\/2021\/03\/08\/gay-party-raided-by-police-in-anambra\/\">Gay<\/a> was a fellow at the Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences.<\/p>\n<p>She subsequently moved to Harvard University and in July 2015, she became Dean of Social Science at Harvard University. In July 2018, she was named the Edgerley Family Dean of the Harvard Faculty of Arts and Sciences, to assume the post August 15.<\/p>\n<p>In 2018-19, Gay convened a review panel which decided to suspend economics professor Roland Fryer for allegedly engaging in sexually inappropriate behavior with one of his assistants and at least four other employees.<\/p>\n<p>Since 2017, Gay has also served as a trustee of Phillips Exeter Academy.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Claudine Gay has been named the 30th president of Harvard University, making her the first black person to hold the prestigious position in the school&#8217;s history.
