The final Faculty meeting of the year marked the Faculty of Arts and Sciences’ equivalent to a field day, where faculty were honored with applause for professorial excellence.
Five professors were named Harvard College Professors: Professor of Applied Mathematics and Applied Physics Michael P. Brenner, Slavic Languages and Literatures Professor Julie Buckler, Classics and History Professor Emma Dench, History Professor Peter E. Gordon, and Human Evolutionary Biology Professor Daniel E. Lieberman.
Over ten professors were honored with teaching and mentoring awards—including the John H. Marquand Award for Exceptional Advising and Counseling, the Roslyn Abramson Award, the Joseph R. Levenson Memorial Teaching Prize, and the Everett Mendelsohn Excellence in Mentoring Award.
“Originally we were thinking of calling it something ridiculous like Acme Books and Posters...but that would have been funny for about a week, and then it would get old,” says John C. Petrovato, the store’s owner.
Both professors were tenure-track faculty at Harvard, so the department thought this time would be an appropriate time to react, Campbell said.
