Janet Gyatso, who taught in the religion department at Amherst College for the past 11 years, has been appointed the first Hershey Chair in Buddhist Studies, pending approval of Harvards governing boards. The new professorship at Harvard Divinity School focuses on the thought, practice, and values of contemporary Buddhism, both in Asia and the West.https://dev.news.harvard.edu/gazette/wp-content/uploads/2001/09/14-gyatso-275-11.jpg
