Everett Mendelsohn,
Professor of History of Science, Emeritus,
Awarded 2013
Centennial Medal
by GSAS
The GSAS Centennial Medal recognizes "contributions to society as they have emerged from one's graduate education at Harvard." At the luncheon, the chair of the nominating committee read a citation aloud that truly drove home the enormous impact that Everett's career — as a scholar, teacher, mentor and activist — has had on students, colleagues and communities across the country and, indeed, the world.
Warmest congratulations to Everett for this much-deserved recognition!
