With the 2000-2001 academic year in full swing, the expanding HBS faculty — now more than two hundred members strong — has seen a number of promotions, accessions to chaired professorships, movement of previously chaired professors to vacated chairs, and, in two cases, new chairs filled for the first time.

David A. Thomas, an authority on mentoring, executive development, and workplace diversity, becomes a chaired professor as the inaugural incumbent of the H. Naylor Fitzhugh Professorship of Business Administration. The chair was established in honor of H. Naylor Fitzhugh (MBA 1933), a pioneering African-American business leader. (More on the Fitzhugh chair will appear in an upcoming issue of the Bulletin.)

Alan D. MacCormack, an expert in product development and the management of technology, is the first Lumry Family Assistant Professor of Business Administration, a chair established by Rufus W. Lumry III (MBA 1974) to further research in the field of information technology.

Others receiving chairs for the first time are Max Bazerman (Jesse Isidor Straus Professor of Business Administration); John A. Deighton (Harold M. Brierley Professor of Business Administration); Thomas R. Eisenmann (Assistant Professor and MBA Class of 1961 Fellow); Allen Grossman (Bloomberg Professor of Management Practice in Philanthropy); Peter Tufano (Sylvan C. Coleman Professor of Financial Management); and David M. Upton (Albert J. Weatherhead III Professor of Business Administration).
