Daniel Carpenter Named Harvard College Professor

Faculty Associate Daniel Carpenter, Allie S. Freed Professor of Government at Harvard University, is a recent recipient of a Harvard College professorship. The award is the Faculty of Arts and Sciences’ highest honor for faculty members who make distinguished contributions to undergraduate teaching and for helping students develop their intellectual passions. Carpenter, a political scientist and chair of the Department of Government, “has superbly demonstrated his commitment to instilling intellectual vitality and civics,” according to Dean Hopi Hoekstra. "Awardees receive a five-year professorship and financial support that they can apply to their research, to an extra semester of leave, or as a summer salary supplement spread over the period in which they hold the title," per The FAS Current.
