Throughout the years, 11 distinguished individuals have stood at the helm of The Fletcher School to ensure its mission was preserved and that excellence endured.
From Fletcher’s first dean, Halford Hoskins, to our current dean, former U.S. Ambassador Stephen W. Bosworth, each has added his own unique and lasting mark on the institution.
