Faculty of Distinction Honored with Krieger-Eisenhower Professorships

An event to honor the seven recipients of Krieger-Eisenhower Professorships was held Oct. 9 in Evergreen Carriage House. Medallions were awarded that evening by university President William R. Brody and Daniel Weiss, dean of the Krieger School of Arts and Sciences, to Veena Das, Anthropology; Jonathan Bagger, Physics and Astronomy; Michael Williams, Philosophy; Peter Holland, Psychological and Brain Sciences; Michela Gallagher, Psychological and Brain Sciences; and Gabrielle Spiegel, History. Not present at the event was William Connolly, Political Science.

William R. Brody, Veena Das, Jonathan Bagger, Daniel Weiss, Michael Williams, Peter Holland, Michela Gallagher, Gabrielle Spiegel and William G. Bowen.

Guest speaker for the evening was William G. Bowen, the president of the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation since 1988 and the president of Princeton University from 1972 to 1988.

The Krieger-Eisenhower Professorships recognize outstanding members of the faculty and honor prominent Baltimorean Zanvyl Krieger's close friendship with Milton Eisenhower, the ninth president of Johns Hopkins. The professorships were established in 1992, at the time of Krieger's $50 million commitment to the School of Arts and Sciences, then the largest gift in Johns Hopkins history.

These professorships are awarded to faculty of distinction without restriction to particular departments and recognize both extraordinary scholarly achievement and broad and effective engagement with the academic life of the Krieger School. Das was a 2000 recipient and Holland a 2001 recipient. Bagger, Connolly, Gallagher, Spiegel and Williams were named in 2003.
