Singer to step down as senior vice provost for faculty - Harvard Gazette

"Few people have done as much to nurture and sustain academic excellence across the University as Judy Singer. When I returned to Harvard in 2011, she quickly became one of my most trusted advisers, a person of great discernment who is valued for her good humor as well as her knowledge and wisdom."

"As senior vice provost for faculty, Singer has overseen faculty development across the University since 2008. Her team coordinates efforts to recruit and retain scholars, help advance their research and teaching, and support their work-life balance. She serves as an adviser in the ad hoc tenure process, chairs the Provost's Review Committee on Faculty Appointments, oversees funding for scholarly appointments, and guides all policies and practices affecting institutional faculty affairs."

Judith D. Singer, James Bryant Conant Professor of Education, will conclude her role as senior vice provost for faculty on June 30. A statistician and community-builder, Singer was the first woman elected to both the National Academy of Education and as a fellow of the American Statistical Association. Since 2008, she has overseen faculty development across the University, coordinating recruitment and retention efforts, advancing research and teaching, and supporting work-life balance. Her responsibilities include advising on tenure processes, chairing the Provost's Review Committee on Faculty Appointments, overseeing scholarly appointment funding, and guiding institutional faculty policies. University leadership praised her contributions to nurturing academic excellence and strengthening the community.
