"Paul has established important new direction for the University in the area of partnership initiatives," said Mary H. Power, Harvard's senior director of community relations.
Grogan's experience in the public sector and at Harvard, in addition to his wide-ranging connections in local and national government, made him an attractive candidate to lead the Boston Foundation, which itself is a member of the Boston After School for All Partnership.
"It is the total picture of Paul Grogan over decades of community building that was the deciding factor in his selection," said Boston Foundation
spokesperson Karen Schwartzman.
Unfinished Business?
Grogan said he has been happy with the achievements during his two years at Harvard, adding that he never planned to leave so soon.
"I expected to be at Harvard very much longer than it's turning out," Grogan said. "I'm leaving, frankly, sooner than I want to."
