Former New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio is headed to Harvard this fall as a teaching fellow.
De Blasio, a Democrat who served as mayor from from 2014 to 2021, will take part in"a variety of discussions, events, and programming" at the Institute of Politics at the Harvard Kennedy School and will teach classes on leadership and public service at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, the schools said in separate announcements Wednesday.
"We are thrilled to welcome Mayor de Blasio and Mayor Janey to campus as Menschel Senior Leadership Fellows," Dean Michelle A. Williams said. "Their insights and their mentorship will be tremendously helpful to students who aspire to public office, as well as to those who are looking to lead in other sectors," she said.
Setti Warren, interim director of the institute, said de Blasio's"decades of experience in local government, federal agencies, national campaigns, and running the largest city in the country will provide invaluable insight to our students and the Harvard community."
