One day, Tilghman left a search committee meeting to give a lecture. “The chair of the committee later took me aside and said, ‘while you were gone, we all decided you should be a candidate,’” Tilghman recalled.Committed to her teaching and research, Tilghman said she had not considered an administrative role — let alone University presidency. But in learning about the president’s role in serving on the search committee, Tilghman saw that “this could be one of the most intellectually enriching jobs I could ever have.”Shirley Tilghman went on to become the 19th president of Princeton University and the first woman to ever hold the position. During her tenure from 2001 to 2013, Tilghman focused on developing the science and arts programs, expanding financial aid, and promoting gender equality. Now, Tilghman serves on the Amherst Board of Trustees and the Harvard Corporation, which was involved in the high-profile resignation of Harvard President Claudine Gay, the first Black woman in the position.
