Education: B.A., Brown University; J.D., Yale University; Ph.D. (history), University of Pennsylvania
Previous employment: Law professor at Penn from 2001 to 2009, and associate dean of the law school between 2006 and 2008. Taught history for five years at Baruch College of the City University of New York. Served as deputy chief of staff and director of policy for Mayor Nutter in 2008.

Toughest hurdle as chancellor: "The biggest obstacle is always - and I guess always will be - money. You can do more with more money. It sounds stupid and simple, but it's just true."
Advice for successor: "It's not about you, it's about us. And be able to multi-task and understand that there are lots of different things that you have to be focused on."
