"I have always kept that habit of going to lunch at Eliot House at least once a week," Pertile said.
According to Winnie M. Li '00, a member of the selection committee, a crowd of students always surrounds Pertile's lunch table.
Park said she expects Pertile to continue his close connection with students, and Bensted to forge new ties.
"Anna is a really wonderful complement," Park added. "She came across as being really interested in what's going on."
The Eliot House advisory committee, composed of students and faculty, informally interviewed several candidates before recommending Pertile and Bensted to President Neil L. Rudenstine, who gave final approval to the choice.
"Everybody was really impressive, but we just liked them," Eliot House Senior Tutor Margaret Bruzelius '74 said.
Although the decision is still pending approval by the Corporation, Lewis said this is merely a formality.
