Dean Grossman joins American Academy of Arts & Sciences

Dean Pam Grossman was recently inducted into the American Academy of Arts & Sciences. The highly prestigious honor involved a three-day series of event in early October. 

Members of the 2017 class include winners of the Pulitzer Prize and the Wolf Prize; MacArthur Fellows; Fields Medalists; Presidential Medal of Freedom and National Medal of Arts recipients; and Academy Award, Grammy Award, Emmy Award, and Tony Award winners.  

Founded in 1780, the American Academy of Arts and Sciences is one of the country’s oldest learned societies and independent policy research centers, convening leaders from the academic, business, and government sectors to respond to the challenges facing—and opportunities available to—the nation and the world. Members contribute to Academy publications and studies in science, engineering, and technology policy; global security and international affairs; the humanities, arts, and education; and American institutions and the public good. 

Penn GSE’s Bob Boruch is also a member of the American Academy of Arts & Sciences, as well as GSE secondary faculty member (and Penn president) Amy Gutmann.
