""University Professors embody the academic excellence that Harvard seeks to nurture in every generation," said President Alan M. Garber. "Catherine, Claudia, Noah, and Cumrun are outstanding colleagues and superb University citizens. They represent not only the potential of individual scholars but also the timelessness of our mission to expand the frontiers of knowledge for the benefit of humanity. It is an honor to acknowledge their achievements and to celebrate their contributions to academia and to our community.""
"Dulac, a Howard Hughes Medical Institute investigator who was most recently the Samuel W. Morris University Professor, will now be the Xander University Professor. The professorship was created for "an eminent scholar whose work focuses on new or emerging areas of scientific inquiry, especially areas at the intersection or interstices of existing scientific disciplines and fields." Dulac succeeds Douglas Melton, who remains at Harvard as Catalyst Professor."
Harvard appointed Catherine Dulac, Noah Feldman, Claudia Goldin, and Cumrun Vafa as University Professors, the highest distinction a faculty member can receive. The University Professor title was created in 1935 to honor scholars whose groundbreaking work crosses disciplinary boundaries and to allow research across Harvard's Schools. President Alan M. Garber described the appointees as outstanding colleagues and University citizens who advance the frontiers of knowledge for humanity. Catherine Dulac moved from the Samuel W. Morris Professorship to the Xander University Professorship. Noah Feldman was named Arthur Kingsley Porter University Professor. Claudia Goldin was appointed Samuel W. Morris University Professor.
