The Maxwell School said it raised nearly $27 million in charitable support during Steinberg’s four years as dean.
The support included the Tanner Lecture Series on Ethics, Citizenship and Public Responsibility, which was endowed and launched in 2012. The lecture series brought leaders to campus that included former U.S. Senator Bill Bradley, former New York Lt. Gov. Richard Ravitch, Rhode Island Gov. Lincoln Chaffee, and Harvard University professor Michael Sandel.
Steinberg’s accomplishments also include helping to lead the Maxwell School to the top ranking in the U.S. News & World Report survey in 2012, according to the news release.
“Jim has brought even greater recognition and prominence to our distinguished Maxwell School,” Liz Liddy, interim vice chancellor and provost, said. “Through his time here, he has graciously shared his vast knowledge and experience in public affairs and public service with our students and faculty.”
Liddy, working with Syracuse Chancellor Kent Syverud, will develop a timetable for the search process to find the next dean of the Maxwell School.
