Vice Provost's Biography | graphical version |

Vice Provost Christina Maslach received her A.B. in Social Relations, magna cum laude, from Harvard-Radcliffe College in 1967 and her Ph.D. in Social Psychology from Stanford University in 1971. She has been teaching on the UC Berkeley campus since 1971. She is an internationally known expert on job burnout syndrome, and her work has been translated into many languages. Vice Provost Maslach has also been honored for her teaching excellence, as a recipient of UC Berkeley's Distinguished Teaching Award and as a Carnegie Foundation Professor of the Year. In 1991, she chaired the Commission on Responses to a Changing Student Body, whose final report, dubbed "The Maslach Report" provided a blueprint for undergraduate education for the next decade. She assumed the newly created position of Vice Provost for Undergraduate Education in January 2001.
