Judith Kelley Named Dean of Duke's Sanford School of Public Policy

Judith Kelley, an expert on human rights, democracy and international elections, has been named dean of the Sanford School of Public Policy at Duke University, President Vincent E. Price and Provost Sally Kornbluth announced Thursday. Kelley’s appointment comes after a national search chaired by Billy Pizer, Susan B. King Professor of Public Policy, associate dean for academic programs at the Sanford School and faculty fellow at the Nicholas Institute for Environmental Policy Solutions. “Judith Kelley is a tireless, proven leader with deep knowledge of our school and its opportunities,” said Pizer.  “She’s also a recognized public policy scholar who relishes the multiple roles that our school serves. I’m confident she’ll do a great job as dean.”
