Wassarman named director of AEP

Rebecca Wassarman has joined the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study as director of Academic Engagement Programs (AEP). A longtime member of the Harvard community, Wassarman brings an extensive understanding of the University from an administrative perspective and a wealth of experience with faculty and academic planning — especially in the social sciences — from her positions in the Faculty of Arts and Sciences’ offices of Faculty Development, Faculty Affairs, and Academic Affairs.

At the Institute, she will work with AEP faculty to strengthen the institute’s connections across the University and its roles in cross-disciplinary collaborations and intellectual innovation.
