Drew Faust officially became Harvard's 28th president on July 1, succeeding Derek Bok, who was serving his second tenure as president, this time as interim. Faust really succeeds Larry Summers, the short-timer whose Presidency was marked by controversy and ill feelings.
Faust faces a tall agenda, including the expansion in Allston, ongoing attempts to centralize operations and build bridges across schools and disciplines, and of course a capital campaign in the neighborhood of $5 billion. Most of all, she'll be expected to lead differently than Summers did and to continue the healing process Harvard so desperately needs.
Look here to find Faust's presidential page, which includes her bio and a link to a Boston Globe story about her academic life.
Here's wishing Faust great good fortune.
