The 11 elected senators (including five re-elected and one returning senators) will join the 11 senators elected or reelected in 2017. They are: Sybil Alexandrov, Jennifer Klein, Marijeta Bozovic, Maria Doerfler, Maureen Long, Rajit Manohar, Mark Solomon, Alexandre Debs, Emily Erikson, Bill Nordhaus, and John Geanakoplos.
The FASS is grateful to everyone who ran in the election and to all 415 colleagues who voted (out of a total of 1060 faculty eligible to vote).
The elections were made possible by the work of the FAS Senate Nominations Committee (Emily Erikson (Chair), Maria Doerfler, Maureen Long, Alexandre Debs, and William Nordhaus), and the FAS Senate Election Committee (Reina Maruyama (Chair), Beverly Gage, Rajit Manohar, William Nordhaus). In the case of both committees, faculty gave generously of their time to support the FAS Senate. And, a special thank you to Jay Emerson and Alex Coppock who dedicated a vast amount of time to the smooth-running of the elections.
Finally, the Senate would like to extend a very special thank you to those six Senators who now rotate off and return to “civilian” life in the university: Beverly Gage, Emily Greenwood, Brad Inwood, Reina Maruyama, Mark Mooseker, and Karen Wynn. This has been a particularly distinguished and hard-working group during their terms, and among them they represent many important leadership roles in the inaugural years of the Senate (including two Chairs and one Deputy Chair). They will be missed on the Senate, and their contributions will be remembered.
