Berkeley College in 2006-2007
In conjunction with the news that John Rogers has been appointed to a second term as Berkeley College master, President Richard C. Levin also announced that Norma Thompson, associate director of the Whitney Humanities Center, will serve as interim Berkeley master during the 2006-2007 academic year while Rogers is on "a well-deserved sabbatical."
Thompson, who is also senior lecturer in humanities and a Berkeley Fellow, has served as interim master at the college before -- during the spring term of the 1994-1995 academic year. She "looks forward to moving back again to the college for the year," noted Levin.
Thompson is the author of "Herodotus and the Origins of the Political Community: Arion's Leap," "The Ship of State: Politics and Statecraft from Ancient Greece to Democratic America" and, most recently, "Unreasonable Doubt: Circumstantial Evidence and an Ordinary Murder in New Haven."
Her husband, Charles Hill, is Distinguished Fellow in International Security Studies and also a Berkeley Fellow.
"I am delighted that Ms. Thompson has accepted this position, and I know you will welcome them both to Berkeley," said Levin.
