Charles Longsworth is Chairman Emeritus of the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation, President Emeritus of Hampshire College and Chairman Emeritus of Amherst College. An instrumental figure in the founding of Hampshire College, he wrote, with Franklin Patterson, the book The Making of a College, which outlined the concept for a new educational institution in the Connecticut Valley. Mr. Longsworth subsequently served for seven years as president of the college before becoming president and CEO of the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation in 1979. As leader of the foundation, he helped perpetuate it as a first-class education and research organization while bringing in first-class archaeologists and curators to further reveal the real Williamsburg of the colonial period. A former United States Marine Corps lieutenant with an M.B.A. from Harvard Business School, Mr. Longsworth has worked with a number of other esteemed organizations throughout his career, including the National Trust for Historic Preservation, the Center for Public Resources, Flight Safety International, and the Houghton-Mifflin Company. | |

Jonathan Losos is an evolutionary biologist known for his research on how lizards rapidly evolve to adapt to changing environments. He graduated from Harvard University and received his PhD from the University of California. After a postdoctoral stint at the University of California Davis, Jonathan moved to Washington University for his first faculty position, before leaving to become a professor of biology at Harvard and Curator in Herpetology at the university’s Museum of Comparative Zoology. He then returned to Washington University in 2018 to become the founding Director of the Living Earth Collaborative, a partnership between Washington University, the Saint Louis Zoo and the Missouri Botanical Garden. This new biodiversity center, nearly unique in partnering a leading university, zoo, and garden, has as its mission to advance knowledge and conservation of biodiversity. Losos has written more than 250 scientific papers and three books, most recently The Cat’s Meow: How Cats Evolved from the Savanna to Your Sofa (Penguin Random House, 2017), and is an author of a leading college biology textbook (Raven et al., Biology). Losos has been elected a member of the National Academy of Sciences and a fellow of the American Academy of Arts & Sciences and is the recipient of the Daniel Giraud Elliot Medal from the National Academy of Sciences, the Theodosius Dobzhansky Prize from the Society for the Study of Evolution, the Edward O.

Glenn Loury is an outstanding economist who has combined a track record of important and influential papers in applied economic theory with a profound commitment to the use of quantitative social science to address issues of race and inequality in America, a subject in which he is considered one of the leading intellectuals of the day. Having earned his Ph.D. from Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1976, he has written foundational papers in many different literatures of economics. Among the subjects he has considered are the role of weak capital markets in the transmission of inequality; the role of market structure in promoting innovation; optimal taxation; exploitation of natural resources; the implications of affirmative action policies for worker and employer perceptions and decisions; the role of social capital in influencing economic behavior and outcomes; and the social and economic consequences of racial stigma. He has also been influential in terms of mentoring young economists interested in issues of race and inequality. In recognition of his work, he has won the American Book Award (1996), the Christianity Today Book Award (1996), and the John von Neumann Award (2005), and has been member of both the Council on Foreign Relations and the American Academy of Arts & Sciences (2000). His books include: One by One, From the Inside Out: Essays and Reviews on Race and Responsibility in America, 1995; The Anatomy of Racial Inequality, 2002; Race, Incarceration and American Values: The Tanner Lectures, 2008. He was elected a member of the American Philosophical Society in 2011. | |

Thomas Lovejoy received his Ph.D. from Yale University. He served as program director, vice president for science, and executive vice president of the World Wildlife Fund before his appointment as Science Advisor to the Secretary, United States Department of Interior, in 1993. He later became Counselor to the Secretary on Biodiversity and Environmental Affairs at the Smithsonian Institution, and Chief Biodiversity Advisor and Lead for Environment for Latin America and Caribbean for the World Bank. In 2002 he became president of the H. John Heinz III Center for Science, Economics and the Environment, and served until 2008. He currently serves as the Heinz Center Biodiviersity Chair. In 2010 he joined the faculty of George Mason University where he has a joint appointment as University Professor in the Environmental Science and Policy Department and the Department of Pulbic and International Affairs. Dr. Lovejoy is the recipient of numerous awards, including Commander, Order of Merit of Mato Grosso, Brazil; the Carr Medal of the Florida Museum of Natural History; the Frances K. Hutchinson Medal of The Garden Club of America; the Global 500 Roll of Honor of the United Nations Environment Program; the John Kimball Scott Award for International Health Leadership of the National Association of Physicians for the Environment; the Spirit of Defenders Award for Science from Defenders of Wildlife; and the 2014 Woodrow Wilson Award for Public Service. He serves on the Board of Directors of the New York Botanical Garden, the American Institute of Biological Sciences, the World Resources Institute, Woods Hole Research Center, the Tropical Foundation and the Royal Botanical Gardens at Kew. Thomas Lovejoy is one of the great modern pioneers of modern conservation biology and practice. In the late 1980s he conceived and initiated the Amazonian forest fragment project, "the world's largest biological experiment," which continues as a cornucopia of new information on tropical ecology and species extinction. In his work, among other advances, he discovered the "edge effect" of forest fragmentation, a key factor in ecological change, among other advances. Dr. Lovejoy is also an extraordinary integrator and leader in the intersection of science, government, and education, especially with reference to the global environment. He was elected to the American Philosophical Society in 1999. | |
