 | Kim Bottomly |
Kim Bottomly, Yale's deputy provost for science, technology and faculty development, has been named as the next president of Wellesley College in Massachussetts.
Bottomly, whose specialty is immunobiology, will begin her new job Aug. 1, replacing Diana Chapman Walsh, who is stepping down after 14 years.
This will make Bottomly the fourth individual from the Provost Office at Yale to become head of a major college or university in recent years. Former Provosts Judith Rodin, Alison Richard and Susan Hockfield are now, respectively, president of the University of Pennsylvania, vice chancellor of Oxford University and president of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
Bottomly's research has focused on the cellular changes associated with allergic and asthmatic responses. She is the principal investigator on five grants from the National Institutes of Health, and has a 16-person laboratory at Yale.
A Montana native, she earned her doctorate in biological structure from the University of Washington, where she also earned a bachelor's degree in zoology. She joined Yale's faculty in 1980 and was named deputy provost in 2005. At Yale, she has chaired the Committee on the Status of Women of the American Association of Immunologists and the Women's Committee of the Federation of American Societies of Experimental Biologists, and she is a former member of the steering committee of Yale's Women Faculty Forum.
