Dr. Anthony Fauci, the public face of the federal government’s response to COVID-19, is now joining Georgetown University’s faculty starting next month, the college said.

“Dr. Fauci has embodied the Jesuit value of being in service to others throughout his career, and we are grateful to have his expertise, strong leadership, and commitment to guiding the next generation of leaders to meet the pressing issues of our time,” said Georgetown President John DeGioia in a statement.
