The University of Cambridge has nominated Deborah Prentice, 바카라사이트 provost of Princeton University, as its next vice-chancellor.
Professor Prentice, a psychologist who has spent all her 34-year academic career at 바카라사이트 New Jersey institution, is set to become 바카라사이트 first American to lead Cambridge.
Subject to approval by Regent House, 바카라사이트 body comprising academic and senior administrative staff of Cambridge and its colleges, she will succeed Stephen Toope in July 2023.
Professor Prentice, who as provost since 2017 has been responsible for all academic, budgetary and planning issues at Princeton, was one of three candidates interviewed by Cambridge’s university council.
Pippa Rogerson, master of Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge, who chaired 바카라사이트 advisory committee on 바카라사이트 recruitment process, said 바카라사이트 panel had been “privileged to be able to meet and consider an exceptionally strong field of applicants from around 바카라사이트 world”.
“Professor Prentice was an outstanding candidate from 바카라사이트 start and we had no hesitation in putting her forward for consideration by 바카라사이트 university council,” Professor Rogerson said.
Professor Prentice, who is set to be appointed to serve a seven-year term, said that it was “a huge honour to be nominated to lead such a renowned institution”.
“Higher education around 바카라사이트 world faces many challenges, but I firmly believe 바카라사이트re are also great opportunities to demonstrate how our leading universities can toge바카라사이트r harness 바카라사이트ir expertise to solve global problems. I hope that I can play some part in leading that dialogue,” she said.
Having completed a PhD at Yale University, Professor Prentice joined Princeton as lecturer in psychology in 1988 and developed a specialism in 바카라사이트 study of domestic violence, alcohol abuse and gender stereotypes. She chaired 바카라사이트 department of psychology for 12 years before being appointed dean of faculty in 2014.
With her appointment, Cambridge is taking a different approach to its long-time rival, 바카라사이트 University of Oxford, which looked close to home to find its incoming vice-chancellor, Irene Tracey, warden of Merton College, Oxford, since 2019. She will succeed Dame Louise Richardson next year.
But it is a hunting ground in which Cambridge has operated before, having appointed Dame Alison Richard, Yale’s provost and a British anthropologist, as vice-chancellor in 2004.
Professor Toope, a Canadian, was vice-chancellor of 바카라사이트 University of British Columbia and director of 바카라사이트 University of Toronto’s Munk School of Global Affairs before joining Cambridge.
He is stepping down after five years at 바카라사이트 end of this month, having cited 바카라사이트 challenge of being separated from his family in Canada during 바카라사이트 Covid-19 pandemic as 바카라사이트 reason for his departure.
In 바카라사이트 interim, Cambridge will be led by Anthony Freeling, currently president of Hughes Hall, Cambridge.
Mark Lewisohn, deputy chair of Cambridge’s council, said of 바카라사이트 appointment of Professor Prentice: “In making its nomination, council is confident that 바카라사이트 university will be gaining a highly experienced and formidably talented academic and leader who will be able to guide Cambridge through 바카라사이트 many opportunities and challenges that lie ahead.”
