WELLESLEY, Mass.-- The Wellesley College Board of Trustees has elected William J. Mitchell, Dean of the School of Architecture and Planning at MIT and Professor of Architecture and Media Arts and Sciences, as its newest member. In a unanimous vote at its October board meeting, the trustees approved Mitchell for a six-year term, beginning November 1. "Dean Mitchell's creativity and scholarship, particularly in the area of technology and how it is fundamentally changing our society and higher education, are welcome additions to our Board," stated Wellesley College President Diana Chapman Walsh. "His role as a trustee will further strengthen the Wellesley-MIT exchange, which was established more than 30 years ago." Before coming to MIT in 1992, Mitchell was Professor of Architecture and Director of the Master in Design Studies Program at the Harvard Graduate School of Design. He previously served as head of the Architecture/Urban Design Program at UCLA's Graduate School of Architecture and Urban Planning and has taught at Yale, Carnegie-Mellon, and Cambridge Universities. Mitchell earned a B.Arch. at the University of Melbourne, a M.E.D. at Yale, and a M.A. at Cambridge University. He is a Fellow of both the Royal Australian Institute of Architects and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. |
