Dentistry Dean to Step Down After 21 years at the Helm; Committee to Find Successor

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Can you name Harvard's longest serving dean? He is Paul Goldhaber, the dean of the school of dental medicine.

But Goldhaber's record-breaking tenure will come to an end next year when he steps down after 21 years in office.

Goldhaber, whose record term at Harvard also makes him the longest serving dental school dean in the country, announced this summer that he would retire when he reaches 66, the customary retirement age for Harvard deans.

President Derek C. Bok said that he would soon announce a search committee to find a successor for Goldhaber.
