Making His Move

George Thibault ’69 has announced his plan to step down as HMS chair of alumni relations in October. Thibault, the former director of The photograph of George Thibault Academy Center for Teaching and Learning at Harvard Medical School, has spent most of his medical career at HMS and its affiliated hospitals. He has served as chief medical officer at Brigham and Women’s Hospital and as vice president of clinical affairs at Partners HealthCare. A cardiologist by training, Thibault has been president of the Josiah Macy, Jr. Foundation since January 2008.

In anticipation of the change, Alumni Council President Steven Weinberger ’73 has convened a nominating committee to begin the search process for Thibault’s successor. “George’s recent tenure as chair of alumni relations has capped off a long and distinguished record of contributions to HMS,” Weinberger says. “Throughout his career, he has exemplified the ‘quadruple threat’ through excellence in patient care, teaching, research, and administration.”

To nominate yourself or another HMS graduate to take on the role of chair of alumni relations, contact Debra Metcalfe, director of alumni relations, at 617-384-8518 or debra_metcalfe@hms.harvard.edu.
