Tomorrow, a newly formed 22-member Dean's Council will convene for the first time in Cambridge. The council brings together 11 former members of the Radcliffe Board of Trustees and prominent members of the business and educational communities--some with no previous ties to Radcliffe.
The group plans to spend its first meeting discussing its own mission, as well as considering ways to spin the new Institute for the community at large--including the Radcliffe College alumnae that it must count on for support.
"Basically, this is an advisory council that will assist the Acting Dean [Mary Maples Dunn] in whatever way she wants to use it and to help over the course of the transition," said Nancy-Beth G. Sheerr '71, former chair of the Radcliffe College Board of Trustees.
Sheerr, who worked tirelessly for two years to bring about the merger between Harvard and Radcliffe, will herself serve on the council. The group also includes Former Dartmouth College President James Freedman and Sonesta Hotels CEO Stephanie Sonnabend.
According to Sheerr, the merger agreement that took effect Oct. 1 specifically called for a Dean's Council that would include eight of the Radcliffe trustees who helped negotiate the merger.
