Three Rutgers professors were elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, a distinguished honor that recognizes their work to promote African American voices in poetry, preserve the history of Chinese operatic performers in America, and lead groundbreaking cancer research.
The academy announced its class of 2024 this week – a group of 250 inductees in 31 areas of expertise, divided into five categories: math and physical sciences; biological sciences; social and behavioral sciences; humanities and arts; leadership, policy and communications. This year’s class includes Apple CEO Tim Cook and actor and filmmaker George Clooney, cofounder of the Clooney Foundation for Justice.
