Prof. Virginia Valian

Congratulations to Distinguished Professor Virginia Valian on her election to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences!

This year’s election of new members to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences maintains a commitment to honoring excellence that began more than 240 years ago. In 1780, the Academy’s founders – including John Adams and John Hancock – envisioned an organization that would recognize accomplished individuals and engage them in addressing the greatest challenges facing the young nation. The first members elected to the Academy in 1781 included Benjamin Franklin and George Washington. Today, the Academy continues to be both an honorary society, electing new members from the non-profit, private, and public sectors, and an independent policy organization with initiatives in the arts, democracy, education, global affairs, and science. A total of 269 outstanding individuals have been elected to the Academy in 2023. https://www.amacad.org/new-members-2023
