An eminent psychologist, Professor Prentice has been Provost at Princeton since 2017 with primary responsibility for all academic, budgetary and long-term planning issues.
Her academic expertise is the study of social norms which govern human behaviour – the impact and development of unwritten rules and conventions and how people respond to breaches of those rules. She has edited three academic volumes and authored more than 50 articles and chapters and she has specialised in the study of domestic violence, alcohol abuse and gender stereotypes.
The University Council has formally nominated Professor Prentice and the appointment now goes forward for approval by the Regent House, the body comprising academic and senior administrative staff of the University and Colleges. The appointment is for a seven-year term from 1 July 2023.
Professor Prentice said:”It is a huge honour to be nominated to lead such a renowned institution. I welcome the challenge of helping Cambridge write the next chapter of its long and proud history. Higher education around the world faces many challenges but I firmly believe there are also great opportunities to demonstrate how our leading universities can together harness their expertise to solve global problems. I hope that I can play some part in leading that dialogue.”
Professor Pippa Rogerson, Master of Gonville & Caius College, who chaired the advisory committee on the Vice-Chancellor’s recruitment, said: “We were privileged to be able to meet and consider an exceptionally strong field of applicants from around the world. Professor Prentice was an outstanding candidate from the start and we had no hesitation in putting her forward for consideration by the University Council.”
