PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — Brown University President Christina Paxson has been elected to the board of directors of the Federal Reserve Bank in Boston.
Paxson said in a Brown press release Wednesday she's honored to have an opportunity to engage in public service.
Paxson, who's been president of the Ivy League school since 2012, is also a professor of economics and public policy.
Previously, she was dean of the Woodrow Wilson School of International and Public Affairs and the Hughes-Rogers Professor of Economics and Public Affairs at Princeton University. She was a founder of Princeton's Center for Health and Wellbeing.
Boston's Federal Reserve announced its 2016 board of directors in a press release Tuesday.
Paxson is one of two new board members. The other is former Massachusetts Institute of Technology chancellor Phillip Clay.
