Currier House Masters To Take Sabbatical

Anthropology Professor Richard W. Wrangham and Elizabeth A. Ross will effectively cede their role as Currier House Masters during the next school year as they take a sabbatical abroad, according to an e-mail sent to the Currier House community by Ross about an hour ago.

Harvard Law School Professor James L. Cavallaro '84 and Nadejda Marques, a research coordinator at the Harvard School of Public Health, will take their place while Wrangham and Ross are in Europe, Africa, and Japan next year.

"In the last 18 months we have quickly come to regard Currier as our home," Ross wrote in the e-mail. "The extraordinary good will and wonderful sense of welcome that you have extended ever since our arrival makes us totally appreciate this warm-hearted house."

Wrangham and Ross began their tenure as House Masters in 2008.
