Deborah Prothrow-Stith, assistant dean for government and community programs at the School of Public Health, has been appointed a visiting professor at Lesley College, school officials said.
Prothrow-Stith will be the Elsa Sonnabend visiting professor for the 1992-93 academic year.
She will lecture, conduct faculty seminars, counsel on public policy issues and work with the undergraduate student leadership group.
Prothrow-Stith was the state's commissioner of public health from 1987-89.
She graduated from Harvard Medical School in 1979.
She pioneered a nationally-recognized violence curriculum now used at schools throughout the country, and wrote "Deadly Consequences," which presented a public health perspective on violence.
