David Pilbeam, the veteran Harvard administrator who last spring took the helm of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences while its leader was ailing, will serve as interim dean of Harvard College, Dean of the Faculty Michael D. Smith announced Monday.
Pilbeam was a senior adviser to Gross during the 2006-2007 academic year and a member of the committee tasked with drafting a replacement for the Core Curriculum. He ended his interim stint as Faculty of Arts and Sciences dean on July 15.
Peter T. Ellison, the former dean of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences and a fellow anthropologist, said in April that because of Pilbeam's previous leadership roles, he would face "no learning curve" in leading the faculty.
"You know who has good reputations, and who's a good teacher," Isom said. "I think Texas Tech is very fortunate, because he's someone who's got the experience to run a big Health Sciences Center."
Baldwin was recommended to Hance by O. Wayne Isom, a member of the Texas Tech search committee looking to fill the Health Sciences Center's presidential vacancy. Isom, who is also a Texas native, is the chairman of the department of cardiothoracic surgery at Cornell's medical school.
