Kazis and Benjamin Schore Professor of Real Estate; Sarah Cleveland, Louis Henkin Professor in Human and Constitutional Rights; Steven Cohen, Professor of Professional Practice in the Faculty of International and Public Affairs and Executive Director and Chief Operating Officer, The Earth Institute; Roger Baumann, Senior Managing Director, JP Morgan Asset Management; Paul Hersh, Student Co-President, School of International and Public Affairs; Akshay Verma, Student Co-President, School of International and Public Affairs.

Finally, I would like to, again, thank Robert Lieberman for serving as interim dean for the duration of this search. His willingness to lead the school during this transition is greatly appreciated.
