Deborah Prentice became the Vice-Chancellor of the University of Cambridge in 2023.
She’s the first American to take on the role, and she’s leading the university at a challenging time for higher education in the UK, with questions about funding, freedom of expression, student protest, striking academics and even vice-chancellors’ pay never far from the headlines.
Before Cambridge, she was Provost at Princeton University, and a professor of psychology, where she focused on the social norms that govern human behaviour and the impact of unwritten rules and conventions. And before that, her first degree at Stanford was in Biology and Music.
Deborah's music choices include Beethoven, Bach, Mussorgsky and Ravel.
