Ombudsman: Dr. Pope

David Pope

Dr. David Pope, professor of materials science and engineering in the School of Engineering and Applied Science, has agreed to serve as the University's Ombudsman, effective July 1, 2003 for a two-year term, President Judith Rodin recently announced. Dr. Pope will succeed Dr. Anita Summers, who served a two-year term. "Anita has done an extraordinary job and we are very grateful," President Rodin added.

"Dave's broad knowledge of the University, excellent judgment, and wisdom, as well as his history of engagement as a University citizen, equip him to provide great service to the Penn community," said Dr. Rodin.

Dr. Pope has served on numerous University initiatives, including co-chairing the Academic Integrity Task Force in 2001, co-chairing the joint University Council/Provost Committee on Assessing the Evaluation of Teaching during 2001-02, and served as chair of the Committee on Residential Planning in 1997, the committee that selected the first group of House Deans for the then newly-created College House system. He also received the S. Reid Warren Teaching Award from the SEAS undergraduates in 2000.

Dr. Pope joined the faculty in 1968 and has served as chair of both the departments of Materials Science and Engineering and of Mechanical Engineering and Applied Mechanics, as well as two terms as associate dean for Undergraduate Education in SEAS.
