Honorees

Fellow Rochester honorees—William Jones, the Charles F. Houghton Professor of Chemistry (left), and Cathy Minehan ’68, a University trustee and retired president and CEO of the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston (right)—joined President Sarah Mangelsdorf (center) this fall to celebrate Mangelsdorf’s formal induction as a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.

The in-person ceremony in Cambridge, Massachusetts—delayed because of the pandemic—recognized inductees named in 2020, which was Mangelsdorf’s year, and in 2021, a cohort that included Jones.

Minehan and Richard Eisenberg, the Tracy H. Harris Professor of Chemistry Emeritus were inducted in 2009, two of many Rochester alumni and faculty members who have been recognized by the academy, which is one of the nation’s most highly regarded honors for artistic, academic, and scientific leaders who engage in advancing the public good.
