Quandt elected to academy
William B. Quandt, Edward R. Stettinius Professor of Politics, has been elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. He joins another U.Va. faculty member, creative writing professor Ann Beattie, who will be formally inducted in October among 178 new fellows and 24 foreign honorary members. The academy elects members for their contributions to scholarship, business, the arts and public affairs.
Quandt, who teaches courses on the Middle East and American foreign policy, recently stepped down as vice provost for international affairs, a newly created post he took in 2000. He has been a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution, where he conducted research on the Middle East, American policy toward the Arab-Israeli conflict and energy policy. He also served on the National Security Council in the 1970s and was actively involved in the negotiations that led to the Camp David
Accords and the Egyptian-Israeli peace treaty.

Beattie’s appointment was reported in the May 28 issue of Inside UVA.
