Loose Ends: Andrea Goldsmith
×
By Pam Hersh
Andrea Goldsmith’s resume is intimidating – so much so that I almost persuaded myself to tune out rather than tune into a Princeton University Center for Jewish Life virtual lecture that featured her as a speaker.
Just like I try to exercise my body on a regular basis, I also try to stay in mental shape (particularly during these mind-numbing, brain-foggy pandemic times) by ingesting a regular diet of academic lectures. So I clicked into the Zoom lecture and prepared to feel inadequate.
Dr. Goldsmith, who formerly was an electrical engineering professor at Stanford University, is the recently appointed Princeton University dean of the School of Engineering and Applied Science.
