Mildred Garcia, chancellor of California State University (CSU), was inducted into the American Academy of Arts & Sciences on September 21.
She was among 250 individuals chosen this year to join the research and policy organization in recognition of their achievements.
Garcia was included in the Leadership, Policy, and Communications category for her educational and academic leadership accomplishments.
“It is a great and profoundly humbling honor to be recognized by the Academy and to serve alongside so many extraordinarily accomplished individuals,” said García in a press release. “I look forward to helping the Academy continue to advance its important work, especially in increasing educational opportunities for America’s new majority.”
Founded in 1780 by John Adams and John Hancock, the Academy is committed to multidisciplinary, nonpartisan research that engages experts in various fields and professions to provide pragmatic solutions for complex challenges.
Academy members elected throughout the centuries include Alexander Hamilton (1791), Margaret Mead (1948), Madeleine K. Albright (2001), and John Legend (2017).
I will be attending the @AmericanAcad’s Induction Ceremony. I am so honored to be named among this group of inspiring individuals, and I look forward to connecting, sharing the CSU’s impact, and continuing the work to advance educational opportunities for America’s new majority. https://t.co/coVAOzHvAf
